Film Title Conventions Research

In my previous post i embedded a photo of all of the class's collective data that was put together. We all had to research the opening titles of three different films. I am now going to explain what I found. What I found out was that at the bottom of the list was always the director ...... well in most cases anyway. After looking at the class's collective data the director didn't appear at the bottom most commonly in musicals.
I also found out that near the top of the list and one of the first titles to appear was the distributor of the film. For example, Warner Bros, Lionsgate etc.
The actors and actresses most commonly appear in the middle of the titles list at the beginning of the film along with the composers and the editors.

As a whole group we gathered the data by listing the example from three different opening titles of three different film genres. The reason we used three different genres was to see if the order of roles that appeared in the titles would change depending on the genre of the film.
It was very easy to see and to categorize the different title elements into title sections. Everyone in the class clearly stated who the people were in the titles and their role. The distributors were very easy to spot as they were different to everything else and appeared mainly at the top of the list.

Below i have embedded a video that i have made on emaze and it explains what a opening titles is and it shows you the order in which my opening titles would appear in my own film.





For my next post i am going to be talking about film title designs and explaining why they are used and why they are so effective.
