Title Website Research

To be honest, when I first heard the about a title design I was very confused! This was the first time I have even heard of that term in film. So when I learned that I needed to include it in my final task, I knew I needed to research what exactly a title design is! I ended up finding two websites that helped clarify.

The first website I found was called artofthetitle.com. Finding this website was like finding gold. It has tons of title designs from every genre, decade, and title designer you can imagine! They had title design from some of my favorite movies! Some of the favorites that I spotted were Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, Aquaman, and Venom. One neat feature of this website is the many categories it sorts its title designs. They organize them by designer, studio, nominations and more. This makes it easier to navigate their website and conduct thorough research. 

The other website I found is called watchthetitles.com. This website is similar to the previous one and even has unique categories like "student project" and "video game" title designs. I'm so glad I came across these two websites. They have given me many phenomenal examples of title sequences and helped clarify what exactly a title design is. They help prelude the film by using expressive motion-graphics. They are crucial for setting the tone of the movie and prepares the audience for what they are about to experience. Titles sequences are basically the first impression of a movie! If a person is not intrigued by the opening sequence or doesn't like it, they probably won't tune in for the rest of the movie.
