Film Title Examples
The following are only the main film titles therefore, not including, director and actors ect.

Shown above is the iconic title of the Harry Potter films with the specific series below it. The typography is iconic to the Harry Potter films and is used for all of the other films. The style of the typography is quite significant, especially on the letter 'P', this is because the style represents the scar that Harry has on his forehead. The black background makes the silver, metallic writing stand out and really represents the dark themes which run throughout the film.

This is the title of the DreamWorks film Madagascar. The typography is bold and really stands out from the back background. The red and orange colours that are used represent the tropical country that the film is set in; sun, sand and warmth. The main title ' Madagascar 3' is curvy and curves upwards slightly making 'Europe's most wanted' fit neatly underneath where it curves.

This is the title for the horror/thriller Sinister. The black typography has the blood like look as it is smudge and almost looks like it has been dripping, this adds to the feeling of the film and represents the genre. The black colour also makes it stand out against the grey background which also represents the genre and atmosphere of the film as it as cracked. This title is directly in the centre and is the main focus point.

The first thing that stands out about the STAR TRECK title is the colour. It is a metallic silver which strongly represents the science fiction genre. The typography is very strong and bold, the edges are very sharp and fully represent the genre. The title is positioned directly in the centre.

The Toy Story film title is very representative of the genre and has the child/toy look to it. This is created by the use of primary colours ( red and blue ) and the very strong yellow which is used for the typography. The typography is bold and fun. It is quite chunky and possibly represents blocks or toys, which would be relevant to the film. This is set in front of the background of sky blue with clouds, further adding to the childlike look which strongly represents the genre and target audience of the film.
