Titular analysis

Modern Westerns tend to have a very minimalistic title screen, a simple white title against a black background. The design is appealing as it suggest a simplicity to the film, which is what we want, as well as the film being grounded in reality, not packed with lots of information and high-octane fight scenes. They are also appealing to the eye due to the contrast between the black and white, while also suggesting a serious nature to the film and a dark, foreboding tone from the very beginning. This is what we will be modelling ours off of, such as these:

However, we want to style our title like in this format, as it is neat, attractive and is now common to the western genre. However, the style of our font we want to be like these, in that the text sizing makes a square.

This is neat and appealing to the eye as well as being a western convention.

Our finished title screen includes the white text on black background, as well as an old looking western themed font that suggests the genre. The simplicity, as already mentioned, is appealing and sets the tone for the rest of the film, whilst the black and white contrast is representative of the dark nature of the film.
