This is the first website given to me by my teacher- as we're studying titles used in films, we're supposed to find titles that fit with the genre we've chosen; since my chosen genre is action, I'm looking for titles that have a fast pace to them; or, titles that pop out visually to the audience as that shows another form of physical activity. Other factors I'm looking for are the font, size, and features that may be used on the text; I believe the font is important as it gives the style to the film the audience is watching- for example, Playfair Display could be used for Noir; the size is also another evaluative factor as that it may display importance- the main title and director tend to be in a bigger size than most of the other credits; lastly, the features like bold/ italicized, the way it flows, is very important for the development and underlying meaning behind the titles such as titles going consistently lower to represent an underwater film.
So, after shifting around to notice the titles that fit with my (action) genre, I had noticed multiple patterns: the job and the person's name were in different colors, possibly to emphasize the words and maintain a more creative approach; the font was much bigger for the movie name and the peoples' names rather than their job; the way the titles are used (especially in Marvel movies) are incorporated into objects and time is stopped so everything is frozen in place- which adds a comedic side view; lastly, there were a lot of titles that were confused for action or incorporated with other genres with a sub-genre being action. The three titles I had picked were from Deadpool (2016) and You Only Live Twice (1967) and Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. Deadpool's titles were an excellent feature that incorporated the traditional Marvel elements; such as time-frozen (with a comedic position of all the objects), explicit funny titles that correlate to the movie's theme, and the titles being moved around the scene as it remains frozen. The other movie, You Only Live Twice, creates a greater "old" or nostalgic sensation- as it's publishing time is much different than Deadpool's. Some characteristics it includes are dramatized mysteries- conveyed by blood on the bed; a sort of cobweb design to mainly add a background decoration; shifts of the people and scenes with plain comic styled titles. Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs incorporates their titles differently as they are an animation so, they could use it to the cartoon-like advantage.
