Catch Me if You Can Opening Title Sequence + considerations



Why i like it

I like this because its different to most other opening title sequences with it being graphically shown. I think it portrays elements of the plot without giving away too much information. The character (Leonardo DiCaprio) is shown surreptitiously moving around for an unknown reason, this enticed me into watching the film to see what happens and why the character merges into different attire furtively. In addition, i have a liking for the music. It is jazzy, which is appropriate to the era the film is set and also it sounds very mysterious, which links in with the genre and the plot of the film. The colours are also appropriate to the action that is being shown.





What i need to consider when making my own title sequence

  • Do the colours apply to the genre of the film
  • Is the font colour appropriate and what is its connotations and symbolism
  • How relevant is the font type and is it effective
  • Will the sound be diegetic or non diegetic and what will be the idea and purpose behind the choice 
  • Will a certain soundtrack, that is relevant to the genre, engage the audience
  • Will the titles appear when the footage is being shown or will they be applied on a separate background
  • How will the titles appear e.g (fade, cut)
  • How long will the title sequence be
