Titles in films
Titles in films help create almost atmosphere for the rest of the film and mood. It also sets an example or gives an idea of what the film will be about e.g sub genre horror may have red font to signify blood.
An example of this is the title used for American Horror Story - Asylum. The title is bold and stands out with the light red font from the dark red background. The colour red symbolises death and murder. But while looking at the title it creates a mystery and draws you in to watch the season. The use of capital letters and old style writing makes you think that the season may have been set in the past and may reflect a hidden truth that has been kept away from us.

The Cabin In The Woods titles suggests a lot of blood being skilled as there is splashes of all different shades of red across the background and font. The white colour almost signifies that through out the film that someone who is obvious to something going on around them will be drawn in. The font is also in capitals like American Horror Stories which makes the font stand out from the background. There are also shapes in the background, compressed together which may indicate that people in the film will have to stay together to stay alive. But the titles make you want to watch the film and seems mysterious. Also the font is modern which may reflect the modern day audience.
Saw suggests that the film is mostly gory and bloody. It gives you the craving to watch more. The colour of the fingers and the title makes them stand out but also contrasts each other. There is also a change in background near the top which shows a blade appearing. Its mysterious and creepy but also makes you want to watch more. Its the craving to know why fingers and blade . This title gives us a sinister and negative connotation which already represents that this is only the beginning.
