The document discusses different methods for titling filmed content and analyzes titles from three films. It suggests titling a film can be done in bold colors or with animation to capture audience attention. The aim is to convey the film's title and give insight into the movie. Effects used should emphasize the film's genre. Titles were then analyzed from three films: durations were 20-30 seconds over imagery with readable fonts and color changes; production companies and lead actors were listed before titles; and music intensified as titles appeared before quieting for the film.

2. Titling Filmed The titling could be filmed in many ways, it could be filmed as a big bold title in weary colours, it could be filmed as the film will be beginning and the title appears in dark colours and also the title could appear to have animation added to it where it could change font and colour as the film begins. The aim will be to capture the audiences or viewers into the movie and understand the title and also get a better picture and understanding of the film through the title. Any effects that will be used on the title will emphasise on the movie we will be creating. For example if the title dissolves into and out of the scene then it will emphasise on how our movie may relate to the supernatural of the movie, how “The Unknown” dissolves in and out of the film. The title will be key and have a major effect on the film and it is important the title is produced at a high level.
