Analysis of Title Sequences. St Joan vs. The Lego Movie

I'm Saint Joan (1957)

Is roughly 50 seconds

• The lettering in the title sequence was created by Harold Adler.

• The credits went as following:
production, who wrote the actual play, Bernard Shaw, who it stars, who wrote the screenplay, music, production design, photography, camera operator, art director, editor, technical adviser, casting director, sound, wardrobe, make up, hairdressing, who the titles were by, Saul Bass, associate producer, production manager, assistant director, script supervisor, where it was produced, Shepperton Studios, England and who produced/directed the film.

• The title sequence was designed by Saul Bass - A graphic designer, best known for his  title sequences. 

• Saint Joan's title sequence was in grey scale, this included the credits, with black church bells. 

~ The church bells suggests that the film has something to do with Christianity and the church. It links to this the title as Saints are very important people within the church.

~ The colour scheme suggests that the movie is either a horror film, or portrays the darker side of the church, as it is dark , dull and mysterious.

~ The credits are in the middle of the screen, they fade in and out, they are light grey and there is never at time that at least one credit is on the screen.

• I like this title sequence because despite the fact that it is simple, you are still able to predict what the film is about and where it may be set.







The Lego Movie (2014)

Is roughly 3 minutes 

•The title starts with the end in a movie theatre then shows the credits, it starts with the directors 
•Then it moves to a work table which displays the screen writers and producers 
• It then moves to outside in a hollywood type strip/ airport/ then the sky/ then to a mass production factory and displays the executive producers. Still in the factory it goes to the inside one of the machines and displays the animation supervisor, it then tells you that the film is based on lego toys.
•Then it then shows a clip of a large robot destroying a city displaying the cinematographer and production designer 
• It then goes on a DJ Deck and shows who it was edited by, who did the music 
• The feature animation, who was by animal logic, comes out in a dragons flames, then co- producer is displayed
• The associate producers and casting director is displayed in a scene with mechanical hands 
Then the actors who voiced the characters are displayed: 
~ two of the actors who played the Lego characters are then displayed, whilst the city is being built/ renovated  
~another is in a scene with spray cans
~the actor who voiced is displayed in batmans cave 
~two actors displayed whilst the image is of a boat and rainbow 
~the next is displayed in space then in a police chase in the city 
~then in the Wild West 
~you then see the production company, Warner Bros on a orange background 
~popcorn being made and buttered, a hotdog being made, a plane  dragging a banner displayed the associate production companies 
• The title is then shown showin all the mini clips we saw.

• The scenes behind each credit links to the person being credited as well as linking to the film. For example, some of the executive producers are shown in a mass production factory  and the main character works in a Lego company. Also the actor who is credited in Batman's cave is Batman in the film. Moreover, the work table represent the human in the film who made the Lego world during the film and the credits of the producer and screenwriters are some of the main people in terms of making the film.

• The showing of the title shows all the scenes in the film, it sets all the main locations.

• The font of the film is unknown however it is in a pixel form, this represents Lego blocks 

• The music is the main song throughout the film

• They had to completely change the title sequence because the original animation looked flat 

• I like this title sequence because it's bright and eye catching, the music is also very catchy. This gives the impression that the film will be fun to watch.
