Italics are slant font style used to distinguish certain words from others. Underlining usually is intended for the same purpose therefore it should not be used in the same text; in simple words anything that is already underlined should not be italicized, vice versa.
Words that should be italicized are titles of books, magazines, foreign words in an English sentence, films, and other media works. It is not necessary to italicize titles from short stories and songs, instead quotation marks can be used.
I don’t normally use italics forms to distinguish titles and such, instead I always used parenthesis. I intend to learn the proper use of italicizing and underline. Possibly make it a habitual thing when it comes to titles of movies and books.
