Titling Conventions - Example


Tim Burton's Batman of 1989 is one of the earliest movies I remember watching. It is the movie I associated Batman with most strongly, till Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy. It has a conventional opening, without much of the modern effects that are used in the title sequences in superhero movies today. At the same time, it sets the tone for the film quite decisively. With teasing visuals that reveal just a little glimpse, it creates a suspense for the audience and an eagerness to figure out what exactly the visuals could be leading to. The titling has been done in a most contrasting tone and font, compared to the shades of blue in the background. Overall, the conventional style that one would take from this example would be the use of fonts and colour which stand out as well as blend in with the context of the movie, and the idea of revealing just enough to spark the audience's curiosity.
