Daniel Kelly – Media Studies Homework
1) ‘Animation effects like
the ones you see in rotoscopes actually pre-date film. But the power of
filmmaking was enormous, and it tempted thousands, including many artists, to
try their hand at this new medium ‘ –
This quote interesting in
showing the impact the film industry made on animation effects they used and
the way in influenced ‘thousands’ of people and even ‘artist; to try the new
effect.
2)‘As much as possible, they
liked to convey the tone of a movie through the “dressage” of its main title.
Thus, blackletter fonts in the opening credits were used to evoke horror,
ribbons and flowery lettering suggested love, and typography that would have
been used on “Wanted” posters connoted a western flick.’ -
This shows how they started improving the typography in the
title sequence by trying to infer to the audience the genre of the film through
the ‘dressage’ of the words.

3)Whatever technique he used, Bass summarized the film as a metaphor that often shone with creativity’
3)Whatever technique he used, Bass summarized the film as a metaphor that often shone with creativity’
This quote shows the
impact Bass had on the title sequence, with him being know as the god father of
title sequence . He was so talented he was able to summaries film in a way
through the title sequence alone.
4)‘Pixar and Disney have reserved crucial parts in the branding of their films for the title sequences. Using animated characters to introduce viewers to the story became a popular trend. Such talented graphic designers as Susan Bradley (Toy Story, Monsters, Inc., WALL-E, Ratatouille), Jaimi Caliri (Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events), Dave Nalle (Corpse Bride), Michael Riley (The Back-Up Plan, Kung Fu Panda) and Michael Curtis (Brother Bear) use all manner of tools to test different approaches to designing titles. One thing these individuals have in common is a drive to find a strong metaphor and tell an exciting story with their sequences.’
- Being a big Disney fan , it was interesting seeing the fact
them and Pixar started firstly to introduce character to introduce to audience to the story and they started a popular idea
in like a chain for the film industry. In addition like bass , they was able to
tell a story in there sequence with a strong metaphor throughout.
5) ‘But the measure of a title design’s quality is the same now as it was in the silent era. Whatever function they perform, titles remain an essential part of film. –
Showing the actual impact the title sequence as and how ‘essential’
it is for the actual film with them being there. They set the scene and without
them , the audience won’t get a feel of the film before they start watching it
