Analysis of titles and font choice

 
One example of a good opening title is the one of Final Destination 5 and this is because throughout the titles everything is getting smashed away and this was effective as it is showing the danger of what is to occur in the film .



Here are some images that show how the titles come in , they come in and it is almost as if glass  smashes it  away onto the next title and these nine pictures above show the titles and the point in which it is smashed up showing that damage is done in the film . In terms of font choice the font is considered to be quite basic and I think this best complements what is going on around the because with all that smashing going on if there was to be a more fancy font it would not really stand out in this scenario so by having it basic and bold it just keeps your eye on what the titles say but at the same time keeps you aware of what is going on outside if the titles (so in this case it would be the glass smashing). 


Another example of the font choices on titles being good could be from catch me if you can the titles in this one are good in the way that they blend in with the scenes going on within the opening title sequence.

Looking at the the pictures above you can tell that the font choice on the the titles for this is that on some of the letters it extends off to make up something within the scene, at first sight it may not look like this but if you look into it for example look at the picture on the right in the middle the letters in the titles extend and go onto make the ladder of a swimming pool and I like this because it is different and is a very good idea and very effective. Just from looking at the opening title sequence we can tell that the film is set or features in an airport at some stage of the film as where it says catch me if you can you can see the aeroplane flying past and some of the other screenshots it is as if the setting behind the titles are places within an airport ( some of them)
