Industry Analysis - Saul Bass

My second idea for a good title creator is Saul Bass. He has done many famous titles for example 'The Seven Year Itch' and 'Oceans Eleven' are a few to name. I like the way he does the animation for 'The Seven Year Itch' and the way it is all done in multi-coloured squares, it seems very complicated to do and this is another reason why it is effective - it looks professional and well done. I like the way the music blends with the title sequence aswell.



I especially like 'Oceans Eleven' of Saul Bass' title sequence. I enjoy the way the blocks of different colours are very manipulative and the music fits effortlessly with the titles. It is a fun, lively title sequence to watch and i enjoy the way Saul Bass makes the titles - they seem plain but due to this are very effective, in contrast to work by Jamie Caliri which can be incredibly complicated, such as the Lemony Snicket opening titles.



Saul Bass; title sequence to 'Psycho' is another great example. The music fits expertly to the genre and the harsh lines explain a confusion in the mind of the character. The black and white plain colours are effective due to the fact they are not bright abstract colours. Overall i like the music out of this sequence and the way the harsh lines are done throughout, slotting in and out of each line is effective and catches the eye - it intrigues you and draws you in as an audience.
