Analysis of title sequences - The Gift / Art of the title

Originally at the very beginning of production with titles, when completing research I found a title from the 'Art of the title' website that was suggested to me. After a look around the website, I found a specific title font called 'Semi-Permanent Sydney 2015' this really stood out to me despite how plain it is. The Semi-Permanent Sydney 2015 font to me looks sophisticated. For the genre thriller, it’s very easy to mistake the title and include a horror element into it however thriller’s are more about the suspense throughout which adds the fear element. Therefore thriller’s aren't all meant to show terror through their titles, I picked this one because the opening should tell the story itself. The title is there to add a little bit of suspense and by the simplicity of this title which can be a statement on its own, personally I think it looks more professional and doesn't seem like a cliché.  In many thriller films, the own focus isn't always the titles however they still conduct the titles to suit the theme of the genre so it is still an important factor regardless if it is considered to look basic. Then from acknowledging this specific font, I was able to familiarise it with the 'Gone girl' font and later when researching films found it similar in 'The Gift'. 

'Gone girl' is a more realistic version of it as the titles in 'The Gift' are more action related especially as in the opening the word 'Gift' is shown bigger than 'the' which relates to something that would be shown in action films. I think this because they are signifying the second word more prominently. As mentioned before, the genre itself isn't add any effects into the font and 'The Gift' in the titles on the movie posters is shown to have an cut along the words perhaps even like a knife going through. This adds more tension into the titles and excitement for the film as the rest of the presentation is in-complex. 

The movement of the titles are once again very simple and are shown after the opening scene in the center of the screen, it automatically goes onto a black background and then the titles both fade in and out. They didn't overdo the movement therefore it can subtly continue onto the rest of the film, from the cinematography and mise en scene the genre of the film could be mistaken for romance. Therefore all throughout the opening and even to the fade in and out, it is all very mysterious and the audience have yet to be fear.
