Typography timeline

I have looked up what order the names go in for the typography and have found this.

This is from the Catch Me if You Can title sequence. The production company comes first. The sequence fades in and the titles are already up. The black on the blue is bold so it immediately draws the audiences attention.The dark colour also set s the scene as it is night.

Next, the actors names. Leonardo DiCaprio's name fades in. There is a sign at the bottom of his name. This sets the scene and gives a hint as to what is to come in the film as it is set in an airport, this could also show the significance of the actor in the film as his name is above a sign where people would look..

After that is who created the titles. this appeared on folders. This is good as it also gives an insight in what is to come and it draws the audiences attention as that is where the audience would look.

Then, the music. This is good as the name is next to a piano so it is clear even with out reading it, what they did for the film.the white background behind the black makes the font stand out and draws the audiences attention.

Costume designer, the name fades in and you are immediately drawn to it. Also the figures clothes are bold so you also know what they have done in the film. The ends of the letters go into the animated characters. This will catch the audiences eye so they will be more likely to read it.

film editor, the name fades in. The audience are likely to read it as the pink stands out against the black. the name swings in and out, this makes the opening titles more appealing for an audience as it is more entertaining than watching words on a screen.

producer, the background goes back to the original dark scene, suggesting that the names on the screen are now more important. it also shows that these names are now people that worked on different parts of the film.

And finally the director. Sometimes the name of the film is shown last as well but in Catch Me if You Can it I shown earlier.

this image isn't shown last, this is because they focused more on who created the film. The 'me' in white font swings off to the side with the plane underneath it. This gives an insight as to what the film is going to be about and catches the audiences attention.
