Film titles are used at the beginning of films and in trailers to establish themes and continuity. Different genres use different title styles to match the film's plot. Titles usually include the film name in a large font as well as details about directors, producers, and cast in similar fonts. Films may show titles over black screens, moving images, or shots from the opening sequence.

2. Film titles are used in films to establish themes of the movie.
Titles often appear in a title sequence at the beginning of
films or in trailers for them. The same or similar looking fonts
will be used in trailers and posters to the titles of a film to
establish continuity with the theme of a film. Different films
of different genres will vary in which styles of titles they use.
The titles should match the style of the film plot and genre so
that the information which a user consumes is relevant and
understandable.
WHY ARE TITLES USED

3. Film titles will have different information in them to establish
details of the film name, crew, and cast. Most films will usually
have the title of a film in a large font which matches the style
of the genre. In similar styles of fonts, details of the film
directors, producers, crew members and cast members will be
shown on screen usually at the start of a film to establish who
has been involved in the creative process. Sometimes film titles
will be shown over a black screen with an accompanying
soundtrack or they may be shown over a set of moving images.
Alternatively, sometimes films will use shots that they have
used for a opening sequence. The advantage of doing this is
that it allows the progress of the film to continue whilst still
sharing the information on screen.
WHAT ARE INCLUDED IN FILM TITLES?

4. Films of different genres will have to use different styles so that
it is easy to understand which genre they belong to. Fans of
particular genres will appeal to the font styles they favour such
as a space themed font for a sci-fi film.
DIFFERENCE IN GENRE

6.  For our teaser trailer we will include a variety of titles, these
include the name of the film, the tag line and the release date
these a key bits of information that the audience will need to
know. These titles will all have the same font and colour to
keep to brand identity and not over complicate the trailer and
overwhelm the audience. For our trailer we are going to include
a tag line, this is used to give the audience a short insight into
what that teaser is about, it will be cut up into different shots
one by one, this will be used to create a more dramatic effect.
We took inspiration from ‘The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo’
trailer. All our titles will be placed towards the end of the
trailer, meaning it will be one of the last things the audience
sees allowing it to stick in their head.
