The rules vary by style. Short prepositions are normally not capitalized, nor are articles.

Example: "Mutiny on the Bounty"

However, if a preposition begins or ends a title, capitalize it.

Example: "Things to Worry About" "Of Mice and Men"

If it is more than 5 letters long, you may capitalize it.

Examples: "My Journey Beyond the Stars"
