Ferris Buellar's Day Off Title Research

1. Ferris Buellar’s Day OffThe first text shown
in the film is
‘Paramount
Pictures’. This is the
name of the
company that
distributed the film
and this is shown
first because it is
the most important
information.
The font is very plain and simple but it stands out because of the boldness of it and the black
background. It is a bright blue which is quite an immature colour which suggests the film is aimed at
teenagers and as teenagers would be attracted to it. This also indicated that the film might be based
around the lives of teenagers which it is.
The text stays
completely still
and does not
move about or
change.

2. The text is the same font however it is a different
shade of blue which shows contrast. The background
is still black which expresses the text more.
The next piece of text is about John Hughes who was the director of the
film. This appears second because John Hughes was one of the most
famous directors in the world so it would have been important that his
name was shown first.

3. Here the audience is given the name of the actor Matthew Broderick. He plays the main
character in the film which is why he is the first actor to be mentioned in the title sequence.
He is also a famous actor so is shown near the start of the title sequence.
The font is the same
at in the other two
texts and the text
stays where it is on
the screen and
doesn’t move
anyway.
