Ideas On The Style Of The Title

I have been thinking into the layout of the title and how to make it look effective, nothing has been completely decided on the style and layout of this yet, but I think that the way the title is presented can give an idea about the film. I looked into film titles and how the style connotes the genre. Below is what I have come up with.

This is a title of a horror film. From my point of view I can tell what the genre of the film is due to the font type and the colour. The black, white and red highlight to me a sense of uncertainty, something dark and mysterious.

 

 

 

This is a romance/drama. From the title and image of the film I can tell it is a romance but the drama aspect does not shine through. The white title connotes innocence and purity between the couple, this is also shown on the image.

 

 

The Hangover is shown to be a comedy. The comedy like layout pursues this, the use of the white again in the title makes it stand out and the use of the large text with the small 'the' inside the word shows a comedy like feel to the film, in conjunction with the image used.

 

 

 

All of these film titles are written in capital letters. I decided that because of this recurrence that it would be the best idea to create our own film title in capital letters. This does draw attention to the title.

 

 

 

This is what I first came up with before carrying out research into film titles and layouts.

 

 

 

I used lower case, because I remember previously that presenting too much writing in capital letters can become an eye strain to an audience and can make a page look messy and unreadable. The use of the rotated 'backwards' "R" is to connote the flashbacks and the looking back into the wife's past to recollect lost memories due to her accident, this is why we decided on the film name as 'The Recollection".

 

 

 

From the research i decided to alter the layout and look of the film title to make it look like a professional film. I didn't change the layout very much but I feel what I did do has made a huge difference upon the look of the title. I decided to change the lower case letters to capitals, then I changed the font to a standard easily readable font of "Times New Roman".
