The Opening title sequence of Catch Me if You Can


The opening titles for the film catch me if you can are a separate sequence which are not interlinked with the film this is one of the three ways in which you could do the titles for the film.

The whole of the title sequence is made of graphics and the graphics match the time period in which the film is set with the Art Deco and typography feel to the opening titles as the film is set in the 60's. The music which is used is very much the music of the era with the jazz feel to the music but the music also has another reason why they have used it as the music is very much like a cat and mouse sort of music which is what the film is about.
 The visual effect which are used also fit the story which is being portrayed as they follow how a normal person changes to be a Pilot, Doctor and Lawyer and this is the story which is then played.
The visuals also match with the music as when there is a piano playing in the music there is a piano on the screen and the composer of the  music the comes up on the screen. The Names of the actors are interlinked with the graphics as the people who are represented come on screen the name of the actor comes up and then an arrow pointing to them comes up as well.
The colours also change every time the person changes and this goes with the place the area they are going into like the Blue for the sky and the Green for the hospital. These fit in with the way the character changes on screen and this is allow the audience to see a synopsis in the  start of the film.
The choice for the text and titles which they have used in the opening as they are linked in with the way the action of the animated characters actually move and this is very different to many film which have a titles sequence which is on its own. The choice of the typography which is used is also fitting in with the time that the film is set like the colours and the Art Deco feel to the film.
