The Art of the Title - Sherlock Holmes


The font and style of the titles themselves seems like a handwritten type of text, this adds to the mystery and tells us the movie will have a crime element in one shape or form. The titles are of actors names, the director, the producers and the title of the movie itself (Sherlock Holmes).

The font is also a type of text that would of been handwritten during the period the movie is set which adds authenticity and realism to the movie.

The images behind the text is of the characters of the movie who are important to the plot and story of the movie. The shot types are of variety, with mid-shots, long shots, close-ups and extreme close-ups.

The title sequence appeals to me because it has mysterious factors to it. It makes me want to watch the movie and find out what happens. The actors starring in the movie also appeals to me because there are big Hollywood stars such as Robert Downie JR and Jude Law. This will most likely guarentee very good acting and a very good movie overall.
