 On this website I also saw many different articles that went into depth about titles. But these articles were different they only focused on one movie or film at a time and they explained to who the whole concept of the movie. These articles weren't wholly focused on sequence or why the creator chose to got with a title as such, it was more focused on the creativity side. This article went into depth about the creativity of the article and why it was created that way. They not only focused on titles for film but also for festivals, conferences, workshops and other creative shindigs. What I've learned from this website is its all about the creativity.

For instance, love film titles often include color with poputouri effects, shapes, layering mystical imagery, archival photographs and cutout headlines. I've never noticed it before but without that sequence the movie would have never gotten recognized.

This website has taught me that the attention comes from the title, everything starts with the title. You never see a boring title and if you have its more than like...
