2. Science Fiction titles look quite
metallic and futuristic.
‘Star wars’ is very plain but it is
also very renowned, if any titling
was in this font you would
immediately associate it with Star
Wars
For the ‘Inception’ trailer the
letters look almost like a maze this
links in with the film that inception
is an enigma.
‘2012’ looks very metallic and
futuristic, it looks very clean and
technologically advanced,
however this goes against the plot
of the film, where the whole world
is turning into a dystopia.

3. Period Drama titles look quite
historical and old.
The title ‘Titanic’ hasn’t got an old
looking font, however, anyone looking
at it would instantly know that it was a
period drama, because the titanic was
such a well known historical event.
And if there is any doubt the
background of the ocean will stop
any.
Oskar Schindler was also a very well
known man for his actions during
WW2 so it is immediately associated
with WW2 and therefore Period
Drama. The title ‘Schindler’s List’ has
been done in quite an old font.
The ‘Atonement’ title looks like it has
been done with a typewriter. relating
with the very first scene when the girl
is typing up her play using the
typewriter. You can tell that this film is
a period drama as not many people
use typewriters nowadays.

4. Teen Drama titles look quite childish
and slightly boring. They are usually
in a very plane, bold, and easy to
read fonts. Sometimes they are
written like they have been scribbled
in a school book. The Mean girls font
is very pink and girly which relates
and reflects the film’s main
characters.
They are also quite unsophisticated,
for example 10 things I hate about
you is very childish, only young
teenagers would make a list of things
they hate about someone.
