1. During the 1920s and ’30s, European cinema was deeply influenced by modernism, and aspects of this visual sensibility were brought to the US by filmmakers.
I found this very interesting as i didn't know that the European cinema was influenced by US filmmakers.
2. Breakthrough ideas in titling, such as timing the typography to interact with metaphorical imagery or to create its own world, were largely innovations that came from outsiders to the Hollywood studio system
I found this interesting as Hollywood was starting to use typography in their title sequences which lead to many other title sequences to use typography.
3.A great draftsman and visual storyteller, Saul Bass ran the gamut of techniques for his title sequences: montage, live action, cut-out paper animation, typography in motion.
This is interesting to me as their is many method that can be used within a title sequences then just using editing and special effects.
4. At that time, dynamic openers by Kyle Cooper and others showed what the next generation of design-educated, film-literate, tech-savvy creatives could do. I found this interesting as it show how the method of making a title sequences have change over the years, as next generation show a more complex and modern way of making a opening.
5.The potential of digital graphics and typography has attracted some of the most creative minds to motion design. 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.
This is interesting as the method of making the title sequences have change but it introduces
a more creative title sequences to be made.
