Title Research: Watch the Titles Website

Image
 This website starts off with lots of information about different great directors. As you scroll through it gives you popular titles that are being used right now and information on them. They then present  featured films, event titles, tv shows, and other categories of titles. They break their website into different subsections which include title sequences, designers, and studios. I like the way they break their website up into the categories because its easy to find what you are looking for. They also have a search bar where you can look up any movie and it will pull up information on it. On the website they have interviews with different directors where you can learn more information on how they decide to create different titles. Overall its a very useful website and I really like the style of it.
