    Here is a link for the great and powerful OZ movie. the text and the whole background scene is very creative and it goes along with the movie. each name had its own style and its own way of showing up on the screen. I think its effective because it tells what kind of movie this is and how the style was created.

    the text in the video file were used as guide lines, throughout the movie the text would pop out when it had something to do with the guide lines. the text was put in creative ways in the film that gives the text more of a perspective.
