Why Titles Matter
 |
| "Charlie and Yip" by Alex Williams |
Titles matter because they set expectations for the film. You've gone to a lot of trouble to make a great short film, with a great story and stylish animation. The next step is to come up with a decent title, find a font that works for your story, and get into your film in a stylish way.
At BNU, our students put a lot of work into customising the titles for their films, giving them a professional quality and standard.
Fonts
There are countless fonts out there that you can experiment with. Making a sci-fi film? - try a Sci-Fi font, or even make your own. Whatever you choose, your title should say something about the film the audience is about to see.
