Title Research: Art of the Title Website

   Hi Media Studies Crew!! Today begins the title research adventure. After much research over the last week my group and I have decided on ‘Art of the title’ website due to many reasons. One of them being how easy it is to manage. The website has a really easy layout to understand in comparison with other websites. My group and I also appreciate the fact the websites has articles on different filmmakers. This website compare to other options has recent movies which is very important. We live in a time where we all like a “clean” look so it’s very important to get modern ideas. Modern movies hold a different feeling compare to 80’s to 90’s movies. This is why we chose art of the titles from all the other options out there. Bye blog!! Enjoy the holidays.
