Editing: title inspiration

Most indie music videos have titles, introducing both the name of the artist/band and the title of the song. Usually, these appear at the beginning of the music video, or at least within the first 30 seconds. Here are some examples from existing media products to help us figure out how we will present our own titles...

Amber Run and Swim Deep have used their logos rather than text to present their band identity:


Wolf Alice and MGMT use interesting fonts which tie in with their visuals:


Arctic Monkeys and Bombay Bicycle Club have only included the name of the song at the beginning of the video, tying in with the narrative of their videos:


 Grimes and Halsey have used text in another language to present their titles in a more concise way:


Bastille and Kodaline use bold, simple, white font for their titles, presented on the establishing shots in their video.


Banks and The Velvet Teen use interesting fonts to present their names giving the audience an idea of their individual quirk:


Of Monsters and Men and PVRIS use the symbols present on their album/digipaks to create synergy through a motif, which comes to represent them as artists:
