Titles Research

This is the starting titles of the film Edward Scissorhands. all of titles are the same font which is quite Gothic and Erie like and very jagged as if its about to open as well like a pair of scissors and they all fade in and then out again. The only title that is different is title 4 This is the main title which says Edward Scissorhands, it appears on the screen is a fast swooping action and they vanishes being opened like a pair of scissors. This is to show what film is being shown and that we know the name of the feature presentation. Each of the titles give us different information such as:

• the cast
• music by Danny Elfman
• Casting by
• costume designer
• special make-up and Scissorhands 
• edited by
• production designer
• directer of photography
• executive producer 
• story by Tim Burton 
•  screenplay
• produced by 
• and lastly the directer which always appears last in the titles

The colour of the titles is white which stands out really well against the midnight blue and black background which also gives us the feeling the film is going to be quite dark and gloomy to begin with and very Gothic. This makes our eyes look directly at the text as it stands out. It is also in the very centre which all makes us attracted to reading it but we can still also see what is going on in background. The music is also very curious and gloomy matching the font of the text and the setting.
