The importance of typography and design

Order of titles (The rule of thumb) 
  • Studio
  • (Director)
  • Stars (in order or reverse order of fame/status)
  • Crew
  • Editor
  • Writer (screenplay)
  • Producer
  • Director
Analysis 
  • Genre
  • Style/Mood
  • Possible narratives
  • Production values
  • Themes
Catch me if you can title sequence

  • Neutral Blue colour to not establish the genre but to give the audience an idea of what it could be and which it is not for example a horror. 
  • Rounded typography to show how the film runs smoothly especially with the parallel sound of a mysterious tune with a fast beat which could be signifying a chase hence the name. 
  • The use of leading lines work very effectively, these lines create a fluid effect therefore once again suggesting the smoothly running of the film and creating mystery as a theme as once detectives find clues everything begins to run smoothly. 
  • The dark shadows and the black fill of the animated character once again creates a mysterious efect as his face is hidden and unknown to the audience. 
  • As the title appears on screen a aeroplane makes the 'me' gently fade, this may be suggesting two things. One, the aeroplane is signifying travel therefore stating there will be a lot off moving in the film which is suggesting secrecy and hiding. Two, as the 'me' fades smoothly this could be signifying the character that is being chased and it is showing how he is smoothly fading away from the searcher and therefore can not be caught.
Seven title sequence

  • Dark/Menacing with a tense ambiance. 
  • Fast cuts to create tension and cause enigmas as the audience get a glimpse of a shot.
  • Typology is used as the colour scheme is red and black connoting death and blood therefore also stating a genre of a thriller or horror,
  • Writing is small to signify a magnifying glass being used therefore meaning the film will be about mystery and things will need to be analysed.
