Design I like

Personally when thinking about a design that works for me i think about title sequences of feature film or commercials. The title sequence of a feature film draws the attention of the viewer to the screen and is supposed to captivate them in every way shape and form. The way that each letter is represented and displayed on the silver screen has everything to do with well for one the design of the movie and two how is is going to captivate the viewer. For instance, in a horror film, the titles are usually presented on top of a creepy backdrop or creepy music is in the foreground. The way that the title is portray by the font that's used also takes a big tole in the captivation of the viewer. If said title is in a boring font style the viewer will not only thing its stupid, but will not be captivated by its originality. Besides the style of the font and the way its presented, the title sequence also plays a big part in captivating the viewer. If the titles are to film and dont just present themselves, it makes the viewer more involved with the movie. In such movies as bettlejuice, the titles were infront of an action sequence where the camera was moving through a cemetery forcing the eire vibe to appear in the movie almost instantly. When a title sequence appears above a moving background the viewer is captivated into another world where they want to see more and more and more. If a movie title is in your face, i.e. the design of it in general, it will attract the viewer, maybe add a little more revenue to the filmmakers "baby".
