Title Research- Rocky Balboa and Fighting

  We have decided on the title "Rise to the Top" for our movie but now I'm going to research how the title is going to look by observing the titles of films with the similar genre. The two titles that I'm going to look at is Rock Balboa and fighting. The reason I chose these two is because they are fairly contemporary movies in regard to this genre and there aren't many movies that have been released recently that have this genre.

Rocky Balboa:
                           

    What I have noticed from this title is the black background which makes the gold stand out. The light can connote the success that can be achieved and should be noted down for when we are producing our title. Furthermore, the light can also show the fame surrounding this a name and this is why the movie itself slightly lacks relevance in regards to what we are trying to produce as there were six movies prior to this one and thus is already a world famous title. The boldness of the title makes every letter as relevant as the other and is one thing we must consider for our movie. I feel that the starting letter of each word will be the biggest size thus adding effect when we will abbreviate Rise to the top to "R.T.T.T." The other letters will all be the same size.
     This title has been very helpful as I now know how to put relevance on a specific part of the title and thus the audience will remember the title more. Furthermore, we are potentially showing two titles in Rise To The Top and R.T.T.T. which gives the audience more of a chance to remember the trailer.

Fighting:

                                                        

    The title fighting can be found on the bottom of this poster and is in a bold, red font. The letters are all the same size and makes each letter as relevant as the other just like the Rock Balboa title. We witness this title in a white background which does slightly make it stand out but not as much as the rocky title with the black background. This title is very similar to rocky and so I feel as if there isn't much more to say about this.

    What I have learnt from this is title research is how these similar genre titles look rather plain with a plain background. This tells me that we don't need to make our title  look over dramatic. I agree with this because the characters in these movies face some kind of struggle and the title represents this. This post has been very helpful  in the production of our title and has given me a clear indication of which path to take in order for it to complement my genre. The effect of turning the title it self into abbreviations has been decided upon in as shown on my previous title research post by one of our group members but this research has given me a clearer view of how to execute it.
