Credits/Titles Research 01

Catch Me If You Can



This is the opening credits for the Steven Spielberg film 'Catch Me If You Can'.This Opening Credits sequence basically tells us the plot of the film with a variation of animations. The style of the animation and the font reminds of something that you would possibly see in a 1960's movie opening, which is also possibly telling us that the setting and time of the film is not set in  the present. The font is very bold and stands out, in this opening they merge the font and the animations together to make an object or image like in the beginning where parts of Tom Hanks name are used to make a seat the character sits on.The colour of the font differs to the colour of the background, and also to the theme and setting the character walks towards. The size of the font seems to stay the same size throughout the opening showing continuity, but it only changes when the Title of the film is shown. Some of the code conventions of a thriller film are made very clear in this opening credits sequence as it shows the main character constantly changing his appearance and job profession because he is being chased by someone.
