While researching i found an interview with Kyle Cooper who is a title sequence Creator and is very successful. He created film title sequences like Se7en, Spiderman and Fight Club. Linking back to the great Saul Bass, he was Kyle Cooper inspiration.
I really liked what he said about making a good title sequence;
"It makes you thrilled to be in this theatre at this moment, getting ready to see this movie. It makes you glad that you are nowhere else in the world except where you are, getting ready to see something amazing"
So why do we have title sequences?
A title sequence is the method by which cinematic films or television shows present their title and key cast and production members utilizing conceptual visuals and sound. It should not be confused with opening credits, which are generally nothing more than a series of superimposed text.
Over the year the title sequence have become in its own right a piece of art work and almost another film creation within the film. It is the first imagery that the audience watch, it has to grip them, tell them the basic information but at the same time do not make them bored or waiting to long for the film.
In our title sequence we have tried to follow the same sort of line that Catch Me If You Can done, where the story is told with names appearing in each scene.
