Titles and Typography:

What do the typography, design and the way in which the titles appear in catch me if you can communicate to the audience/consider connotations of the films:

-Genre
-Style/Mood
-Possible narratives
-Production values
-Themes


The title sequence of catch me if you can was influenced by Saul Bass. Through the title sequence it tells the whole narrative of the film in an animation form. The typography helped to indicate who the characters were as it would appear in sync with those certain characters. It also interacted within the scene. This helped to tell part of the narrative and created a sense of movement due to the placing of the typography and the different camera movements such as tracking up and down. A sense of different settings are created, there are many links to travel, initially starting at an airport, then a car journey. the character then takes us to a luxury holiday accommodation. There is an orchestral soundtrack which helps to build tension and suspicion.

i think the typography in this Title sequence is well placed and it helps to guide the audiences eye as to where they should be looking. The way in which the texts moves within the animation and how connects to the scene gives it a real purpose as well as informing the audience. The order in which the titles come up is relevant because it gains the audiences attention and keeps them engaged throughout. It also shows the importance of the stars and who has the most star power.
