Opening Title Sequence Of Catch Me If You Can By Olivier Kuntzel and Florence Deygas
Kuntzel and Deygas are a duo of visual artists who live and work in Paris. Deygas graduated from Gobelins L’Ecole de L’image, studying film animation. Catch Me If You Can has a Saul Bass influence in the title which many people talk about. To create Leonardo DiCaprio's character they chose to not use high levels of technology but imagine the characters in stamp form. I used Art Of The Title to see the step by step break down of the opening title sequence and creativity that went in to it.
The music that has been used in the opening title sequence is very important as it creates suspense to combine the action of the film with the images that are going on in the background. To emphasise which character is Leonardo DiCaprio Kuntzel and Deygas decided to use an arrow pointing towards the cartoon character, this could highlight that he may be an important character. As one of the characters is walking up the stairs they disappear maybe so that the person that is following him can't go up them. Also a black line goes up in front of the character following Leonardo DiCaprio which could emphasise how he is being trapped in, but at the end of this line is the title 'Catch Me If You Can.' We then see a taxi driving out of control on the road, maybe that could be the person that has committed the crime and a police car is chasing them. After this we then go to another place where people are swimming and sunbathing - this could show a contrast as to how this film has a bit of action but also some relaxation. The music is also quite relaxed. When something bad is about to happen the music gets faster and the colours get darker, this happens every time something bad is about to happen, so that could be used as a warning for the audience. When the bad guy is not being chased the music becomes calm and relaxed again and the colours change to light colours usually on a black background. The bad guy is wearing black which could represent danger, whereas the police man is wearing white which could mean he is innocent.
