Film Thursday: Art of the Title

MOTION GRAPHICS
- The new dimension in visual media
Audiovisual media and especially movies have been blessed with an extra dimension - motion graphics. A dimension that can amaze the audience visually and create additional meaning and feelings to a movie's theme. And then it can also be seen as a way to just distinguish yourself among all the other movies or tv-series out there.  computer generated graphics mixed with the video. "After effects" is the main program used for this and when mastered, it can blow your mind.

ART OF THE TITLE . COM
- An eye for the "hidden" art
www.artofthetitle.com is a website that focuses on the most creative and visually pleasing movie title sequences out there. I stumbled upon it when I was writing a 25 page paper on the incredibly-hard-to-describe movie Stranger than Fiction. I have always been amazed by its creative plot, great characters and its unique way of being between the meta-fictive and the magic realistic. Although I think I was probably most amazed - partly unconsciously - by the graphics in its title sequence and throughout the movie. www.artofthetitle.com wrote about Stranger than Fiction and its graphics and this opened up my eyes for this art as a whole.

And feel free to check out all the other amazing motion graphics!
