All About "The Art of The Title"

artofthetitle.com
Part of making any film is thinking about titles, and typography.  A good title sets the tone and style for the forthcoming film.

For all our students working on titles and title sequences for their short films, we recommend visiting theartofthetitle.com, a website dedicated entirely to the art and craft of movie titles.


Why Titles Matter
Titles matter because they set expectations for the film. You've gone to a lot of trouble to make a great short film, with a great story and stylish animation. The next step is to come up with a decent title, find a font that works for your story, and get into your film in a stylish way.  

BoxBots
At Escape Studios, our students put a lot of work into customising the titles for their films, giving them a professional quality and standard.  For example, the titles for "BoxBots" (see right) played with neon signage, just as you might see at a real Las Vegas fight.  

Fonts
There are countless fonts out there that you can experiment with. Making a sci-fi film? - try a Sci-Fi font, or even make your own.  Whatever you choose, your title should say something about the film the audience is about to see.
