Catch Me If You Can



In the title sequence for the film Catch Me If You Can the text is interactive and moves according to the characters and scenery. It is used to help create the set of the sequence and thus telling the narrative of the film. They also use graphics in an interesting way as they use symbols and logos that would be used in that setting helping create the scene but it's also used to indicate which actor is being portrayed in the cartoon.
The cartoons are wearing costumes which connote what their character does for example the detective is wearing a hat, glasses and is hiding behind a magazine, these are typical conventions of what a detective looks like so the audience will automatically know he's playing some kind of undercover spy.
Essentially the title sequence tells the entire narrative of the film using different scenes the character can expect to see in the film. In every new scene the character is keeping lookout behind the font before coming out in a new costume, this tells the audience that the main protagonist is being followed and is on the run. The sequence also tells the audience that there will be a romantic subplot which was implied in a scene where the main protagonist was swimming and closest to the camera and the largest cartoon on the screen was a female who next to it had the name "Amy Adams" next to her. This shows she'll be a relatively important character in the film.
