Psycho
Psycho’s opening titles are very simple; it contains
lots of wipe effects and after each wipe shows a different title. It involves
black and white bars that spread across the screen from different angles and
the titles follow. However, these
credits were groundbreaking in the 20th century as it was the start
of animated titles. Saul Bass
(1920-1996) was the designer of these title openings and is still known as a
genius to this day for his brilliance. He was not only one of the great graphic
designers of the mid-20th century but the undisputed master of film title
design.
Lord of War
The knockout title
sequence to Lord of War is a first-person narrative where it shows
you the life of a bullet from the bullets point of view. We are shown the life
of it and we see how quickly it can be made and then used to kill. The first
person POV reminds one of a first person shooter video game and never seemed
suited to the subject matter however, I realised that the gaming correlation was
part of the intent.
