Similar to the "Art of the Title" website, this website called "Watch the Titles" explores the work put into making an effective title sequence. You can select the title sequence tab at the top of the page to explore movies and their opening sequence. Additionally, much like the other site, you can find title sequences by looking at the designers and studios that made the film the sequence is in. Also, you can search movies up directly through the search tab. I found this website to be much more interactive than the last as it uses moving pictures and tabs to find the movies easier.
The website is very eye-catching as soon as you load into the page. You are greeted with some popular titles such as the one seen in the picture. If you scroll down the home page, you can find opening sequences through a couple of created tabs. These include "feature films", "tv shows", "student projects", and even a tab for video game title sequences. Additionally, the site seems to offer more foreign film title sequences which I found interesting.
Much like the other site, I will use this website to research how films effectively use title sequences to grab the viewers' attention at the beginning of films. The site's tagline is "Forget the Film, Watch the Titles." I thought this was very clever as the title sequences are just as important as the film itself. They set a precedent to what the film will be and one can determine if the film will be good just by watching the opening sequence. It could be the difference between a film-goer staying to watch the movie, or one just getting up and leaving the theater before the film even starts.
