Typography of 'Catch Me If You Can'

I will now discuss the title sequence from 'Catch Me If You Can' after researching it in class. This research all links into the work that I will soon be doing in creating my own media product, a title sequence. 

Olivier Kuntzel was the title sequence designer for this piece in the film staring Tom Hanks, 'Catch Me If You Can'. The sequence has a lot of themes and stereotypes from the 60's and throughout shows a lot of connotations of the narrative and future events through foreshadowing. These are some of the conventions of a very good title sequence. For example portraying one character on the run from another one foreshadows to the audience that there is going to be some kind of chase in the film amongst characters. Secondly, the fact that planes are seen throughout this title sequence tells the audience that in the film there are going to be themes of travel and characters who are possibly forced to travel away - due to this 'chase' I previously discussed. 

Colour is also a key theme through this sequence. In the second screenshot from the film above a yellow arrow is used. This arrow is the only thing on display in the picture at that time with this sort of bright colour. Firstly, this would of been done to stand out from the other elements, and to therefore draw the audiences eye in first. Then after seeing it would be led to what its pointing at. This is all a technique from Kuntzel in an attempt to get the audience to see what he wants them to see in his very own order.

All of these elements I've looked into are ones which i will try to adapt and replicate with effect in my own attempt in creating a title sequence.
