Watch the Titles

Hello! To better understand how and what the title markers do to make the opening sequence for a movie, my group and I went to the website www.watchthetitles.com. While trying to find a website to look at for our research on the opening titles we stubbled upon this website. On this website, you can find example titles from many different genres of films. Not only are there block buster films but there are also video games, student projects and tv shows. Along with this array of example films, this website offers interviews with the creators of the different films offered on the website. The opening and its titles are very important. The opening titles set the mood for the whole movie. For our project my group and I needed to do some research on the opening titles for our genre, horror films. While on this website my group and I watched an array of the opening titles of different horror films. While watching the titles we've come to notice a few things. When watching a couple of the films we noticed that the titles didn't often take up a lot of time and are usually short while also giving a creepy, eerie tone to the movie. This is usually done by the editing of the titles and the sounds used in the opening and throughout the movie.The sound is often an eerie, unsetting sound that helps create the tone of the movie. This website was very helpful for our research on the opening titles for horror movie.
