Analysis of title sequences - Task 4.

1. Saint Joan (1957).

- Sticks to a black and white colour scheme throughout title sequence.
- Explores a simplicity feel, as the title sequence consists of the same shapes repeatedly.
- Title sequence is full of movement and patterns. 
- Dominant shape used > a church bell swinging back and fourth. 
- Shows that the Church will play a big role/location in this movie.
- The colour scheme and effect shows that it's been created a long time ago.
- Starts with the production title, then introduces main characters.
- Frame of the font changes, from left, right and centre.
- The intro music starts off calm then gradually builds up.
- The title sequence goes straight to point.
- The music and graphics, sets a mysterious and horrifying atmosphere, as towards the end we see shapes of a body chopped up.
- Shapes and cut out animation to demonstrate what the film will be about. 
- Title sequence uses a lot of shapes instead of actual clips from the movie.
- The shapes symbolises what the movie will consist of, instead of using characters.
- I liked this title sequence as it was short and got straight to the point, and the simplicity of the whole title sequence. 

Designed by Saul Bass - A graphic designer, best known for his motion pictures title sequences, corporate logos and film posters. Which includes cut-out animations. Saul Bass once stated that his main goal for his title sequences as being to ‘’try to reach for a simple, visual phrase that tells you what the picture is all about and evokes the essence of the story”.

2. Too many cooks (2014). 

- Starts off with the scenery of the location, then a house with an american flag placed outside (shows where it is set). 
- Shows a house and introduces family members. 
- Gives the impression that it is a family like film.
- Series of intro's to each characters with contrasting backgrounds/locations to illustrate the character's personalities and mood. 
- The background song synchronises with what's going on in the scenes. 
- Compared to the first title sequence, it is very long.
- Each character links to one another, to introduce everyone involved in the film.
- The font is placed in the centre of whoever is being introduced, to show who's which character.
- The title sequence, explores a range of different moods based on each character. 
- Explores a humorous feel. 
- Each character looks at the camera, which makes the audience feel welcomed. 
- Has a  1980s-style television title sequence feel.  
- I like this title sequence as it shows a sense of what each character is like and sets a positive atmosphere to what the film will include. 
- Combination of mix genres, cartoons, superhero, family, comedy and sci-fi.
- Parody of a 80's TV sitcom.
- The fonts were experimental as it was placed in all sorts of different angles.
