The main creator we looked at, was Saul Bass. Saul Bass did a lot of title sequences for Hitchcock's movies, as well as many other famous titles.
Saul Bass is one of the most well known title sequence designers, and his style comes out in all of the work he creates. Psycho is my personal favourite of his title sequences, as well as probably his most famous.
Other title sequences we looked at were:
Juno
Se7en
Catch Me If You Can
Trainspotting
The Shining
When I was looking at the different title sequences, I realised that in a lot of them, I really didn't pay any attention to the actual text that was appearing on screen. For the majority of them, the eye is drawn away already with the video or background contents before text even begins to show on the screen. A really strong example of this is The Shining. I watched the title sequence a few times more, to take more notice of the text, and see how it had actually been put into the sequence. It is a really bland font, alongside being in a cool colour, which doesn't exactly draw the eye.
After this I looked into films I would like to make my title sequence for. These included:
Scott Pilgrim vs. The World
This Is England
Fight Club
Withnail & I
I decided that I either want to work with Withnail & I or Scott Pilgrim vs. The World for my recreation, so I am going to develop ideas for them both before choosing.
