Typography and Existing productions

Typography

These are often the order that the credits will run by.

  • 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

We then looked at an existing production.



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.

It is hard to discuinguish the Genre of this film because of the shapes that have been used. 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.
