Inter-titles analysis #2

I have previously analysed the inter-titles for 'Eat, Pray, Love' as I was heavily influenced by the film, however since we are nearing the stages of filming and editing I've decided to do more research into inter-titles. As I have yet to choose one for my trailer, I also have not  yet picked a title for my film and I am planning to match my font with the title so there is a connection between the pair.

The first film that I have used is 'Safe Haven' which is a 2013 thriller/drama and romance film. All the inter-titles in this genre are simple and elegant as they focus the main attention on the trailer itself. Therefore due to this, the titles still need to be statemented so that they are not brushed aside by the audience. They include the title of the film both at the beginning and end, it is shown as a sans serif font and it is presented to bring the boldness of the film. It is portrayed as a statement especially when linking into the trailer and the seriousness of the certain events in the film. Another link they have included which was also seen in the film poster for 'The Light Between Oceans' is that they have placed the background to relate to the location of the film e.g. the film is set in South-port so they have included the sea and the docks in the background. 

The second film is 'The Last Song' which is 2010 drama, family and music related film although it also does have elements of romance. I chose these inter-titles as they reminded me a lot of the titles for 'Eat, Pray, Love'. They both share the same sans serif font and the white background throughout, the simplicity of the text still brings attention to the audience as they have focus on what is being said to them. However, it also draws the attention to the plot of the film and the events that are being shown in the trailer. The simple colours of black and white stand out together as light has connotations of light and positivity which is contrasted by the black which has both negative and positive connotations such as power but also grief. 

The last film I used was 'The Light Between Oceans' which is a 2016 romance/drama film. Both these inter-titles are the same due to the serif font and only differ from the background and the countries that they released them in. The first inter-titles were released in the U.K and the second one in the USA. The only difference is the background which I thought was key as the second one links in the background of the film. In similarity to 'Safe Haven', they have linked the backdrop to the text and it also fits perfectly with the title of the film itself. Whereas the first one is very simple and sophisticated which again fits well into the film due to the intensity of the character's situations that is shown throughout the trailer. I like both of these inter-titles and the use behind them especially by linking them further into the film which is something I aspire to do in my own.
