Typography 

Common order of titles:
  •  Name of studio
  •  Name of production company
  •  Producer name
  •  Staring (starting with the main actors)
  •  Featuring (featured actors)
  •  Casting director
  •  Composer of music
  •  production designer
  •  Editor
  •  Director of photography
  •  producer
  •  writers
  •  director

Looking at typography in existing productions.



Catch me if you can
  • Titles are integrated into sequence (become part of the action)
  • Exit screen smoothly looks elegant and could resemble the character who plays the police officer.
  • Typography looks stylised and works in sync with music.
  • High production value
    Font is sans serif
  • 60's styled which hints time era of film/setting
  • Informal font suggests film wont have a consistent serious tone and elements of humour could be present.
  • Smaller words are serif which resembles an old typewriter which again references the 60's and suggests significance of the object in the film.
The genre and the target audience to be identified through the typography. The typography is well used throughout, but would not be suitable for our groups title sequence. The shapes used are similar to Saul Bass' work with title sequence.
