The Bug
The bug is a 2006 modern day film of the thriller/horror style. The opening font is white and makes a strong contrast on the black background. It features a new style font which is quite interesting and new, the colour of the font is slightly off white and with the black background it makes teh perfect opening scene for a groundbreaking movie of some sort. In this case a thriller and the black can be associated with the dark and all the things that go with that (thriller ideas). For this reason, its a good point to take into consideration when choosing title fonts. Do not (obviously) use happy coloured openings!
Memento
Memento is a modern thriller/action movie too released not long ago. It has a very original storyline (which is famous for being completely reversed) and is without question, a head trip. Guaranteed to either get you thinking and like it or hate the film for it not being "easy" and "enjoyable". It takes some effort from the viewer. The font here is what i always thought is best for a thriller, a washed blue font which is stick thin and on the background of a black backdrop. Here we also have a printed polaroid (a memento) and this has huge significance on the whole meaning of the film. We could incorporate something (a prop) of some sort to give a hint of what the film will be based on.
Sleuth
The title to Sleuth, a thriller/horror film is very similair to the first one i reveiewed (the bug) both have white washed/off grey fonts and black backdrops. This is the classic thriller opening style and so hence being so many. Ive seen too many to name that have an opening like this. The font is interesting and sleek, tall and tidy. Elegent. It could be tricky!
Although you've done 3 Robert, this is not enough detail. You need to closely analyse the TITLE SEQUENCE, not just the way the title font is designed. This should be detailed textual analysis of style and meanings, along the lines of what we did in class.
