Words or Visual

Following the research i did previously on analysing film titles and film title graphics, I am going to breifly discuss which i think is more important, the word choice and phrasing of a film title or the visual aspects of the film title.

I believe that it is the wording that contributes more to the communication of genre and audience to the viewing public, as a lot of the time the movie title is a clear indicator of genre but more importantly storyboard, something that the visual aspects of a title could never do. Typography, arrangement, colour etc. can only reveal so much about the film, as they can only suddgest, not state. Also, a lot of the meanings and messages in the visual aspects of a film title will be overlooked by the viewer and therefore un-noticed.
