How are titles used? - Sade Mills-Isiorho



I think that the titles in the opening sequence to 'Catch me if you can' relates to the narrative of the film as it shows a person trying to escape/ run away from other people. The opening sequence to this film is animated and the titles in this sequence are very simple and subtle as they are shown as part of the scene, i.e. the letters from the words acting as a bridge for the cars to go under. The titles in this sequence also move with the the animation, for example the words move up as the characters move up and form a ladder for the character to climb up. I feel this is an effective way of connecting the titles to the opening sequence/ narrative as titles tend to be a necessity in the film world and not very interesting for the audience. By animating and adding motion to the titles it makes it more visual for the viewer which makes it's more interesting to watch.
