Analysis of Opening Titles

Both of these clips are quite similar because they are both created using 3D. However they are styled differently as Captain America is in color and Silent Hill Revelation is created in black and white. Captain America is also old fashioned however Silent Hill is very modern and current. Silent Hill has horrifying creature in the titles but Captain America is bright and has WW2 themed elements in it. The titles in these films come at the end of both films. This is typical as most credits/titles run at the end of a film. The typography of the text in the title clip for Captain America was old and cartoon poster like. This was very fitting for the WW2 era as it represents what was going on in that period and the types of "We need you" posters. The titles in this film contrasted the thriller genre because they were bright and colourful, which is not a typical view of a thriller film. The Captain America titles fit in through the use of mise-en-scene as the planes and shield represent weapons and the protection needed against them. The Silent Hill titles however have a very good use of typography, which represented the thriller genre extremely well. The typography was rustic and the white text contrasted against the black background. The Silent Hill tiles have influenced the thriller genre because of the unusual design and texture the text had. These titles met most of the thriller conventions of mise-en-scene and the characters. It created a spooky and modern way of creating effective titles.
