main title
Top billing name
The main title is the primary name of a work—the large text on a book cover, the words that appear on screen at the start of a film, the headline of an article.
It distinguishes the work's central identifying name from any subtitle, series title, or chapter headings: The main title appears before the colon; everything after is the subtitle.
