Text Analysis

Each of these titles are unique in there own way. They portray connections, movement and there own particular style in there own way.

King Kong

 This particular movie was created in 1933 so of-course what it shows is going to be very different form the other 2. Seeing just the still image one would notice that the text is quite bold and thick. This really gives a big impact at the same time making the audience focus upon it. Not much can be said if it challenges the conventions due to the fact that this film is in a different year zone then the other two. Since the film is very old the way the text is created is not very complex but basic. All that happens on screen is the text enlarges from the centre and takes up almost the whole screen. Even being so old it yet has a unique look too it and really captures the attention of the audience. One can argue that the text (King Kong) connotes the strength and size of the actual beast in the film as well as the big bulky text its just a resemblance of what its too come. The audience would know that the character 'King Kong' will be big and the text used in the opening credits just emphasises that.

Psycho

With Psycho we can see a certain mystery going on with the text. In the still image we see the word is cut in half giving it a certain mystery element and making the audience wonder how it revolves around the film, which is simply known as an enigma code. The conventions are not fully challenged in this because that there is white text on a black background, but one could argue that since the text is cut in half it could be un-conventional. It is a bit intriguing the way that they have approached this. The cut in the middle of the text gives a certain sense of mystery and once again relating to the idea of an Enigma code. The actual text is not too enlarged or impacted, it is medium size and the font is a basic design. This gives simplicity and mystery, at the same time.

Tron Legacy

This title sequence is very different from what one tends to see. Not only is the font different but also the whole colour scheme is unique. The colour used is a black background with a very shiny cyan colour, quite different almost un-conventional. This does give the title a very futuristic and sci-fi feel, which if the audience are interested in these types of films then it would get them more interested. When someone looks at this straight away they would be able to connote that the film is going to be futuristic and it will be full of bright and vibrant colours.
