Art of the Title Class Activity

Today in class we analyzed some title sequences from Artofthetitle.com. I thought the Goodfellas intro was clever because the opening credits zoomed into the screen from the side, and the sound of a car passing went along with it. This gave the effect that the credits were cars coming into view and then driving off, which I thought was well done. Scorsese commented that he got the idea for the title sequence from the movie Big. We might use a sound bridge when introducing the credits like Goodfellas did, but I don't think we will be using the text effects that they did.
