Film Title Analysis

1. Film Title Analysis

2. SICARIO
The main crumpled effect of
the title helps to create a
negative reaction as that
crumpled effect reinforces an
instant idea of destruction.
The colours; black and white
have connotations of death
and destruction and with the
colour connotations the bold
and capitalised letters help to
reinforce the ominous
atmosphere that will be shown
in the film. Therefore the title
is an instant starting point to
the audience as they start to
question what the film might
be about from the title.

3. The Girl With The Dragon
Tattoo
The pointed edges of the
main title font of ‘The Girl With
The Dragon Tattoo’ instantly
signifies a negative
atmosphere, also the grey text
on a black background has
negative connotations. The
mysterious mist in the
background helps to create
the ominous background of
the title and makes it more
bold.

4. SE7EN
The missing white patches on
the title “Se7en” signifies the
idea the possibility of having
to find clues to complete the
mystery of the crime that
needs to be solved. The black
background has negative
connotations of death, danger
and a sense of an ominous
atmosphere; i.e, a murder or
crime.

5. Inherent Vice
The bold title with a neon lime
green font colour subverts the
traditional titles of crime mystery
films of having a white
background with a bold black font
and vice versa. The text over the
main protagonist implies an
instant idea that this character is
the “inherent vice” or is likely to
be the “inherent vice”

6. Sherlock Holmes: A Game Of
Shadows
The handwritten effect on
a old fashioned (beige
coloured) paper creates
the idea that the
protagonist (Sherlock
Holmes) may prefer to
stick to the traditions
which instantly sets the
scene for the film through
the title sequence.
