I have always enjoyed watching movie titles, but it wasn't until I enrolled in visual communications that I learned to appreciate them. I don't like all of the movie titles that I watch, but I like most of them. Movie titles are helpful to me, and anyone really, because they provide a brief synopsis of what the movie is going to be about. Here is one movie title that I like and and one movie title that I dislike:
I like...
The movie title for How To Lose A Guys in Ten Days for several reasons. First, I like this movie title because I like the type of movie that it is. It's romance/comedy. The title does a good job of conveying the main point of the movie without giving away any of the crucial parts of the scene, or the end of the movie. Most of the scenes that they show in the title leave the viewer hanging and wondering what ends up happening, which in effect, makes the viewer want to go see the movie. I also like how the title spotlights the main characters, Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson. Sometimes movie titles cram so many people into the title that viewer's cannot really decide whether they want to see if because of the actors, or if the movie would be bad because of the actors, if the movie is going to be changing from charater to character in a consistent manner. To me, only seeing a limited number of actors in the movie title is necessary as to not confuse a viewer and dissuade them from seeing the entire film. I do not think tthat every movie title should involve only a few leading actors, but I think that for this movie trailer, it was appropriate to focus on just the two leading characters to accent their relationship, which is what the movie is ultimately about.
