Opening Title Sequence (Danny Yount- Kiss Kiss Bang Bang)

This opening title sequence was produced by Danny Yount. The design deffinitely could be recognised as very similar to Saul Bass and Kyle Cooper, however, Kyle Cooper was the executive producer. The Title sequence has letters which are layed out oddly onto the page, the words 'Kiss Kiss Bang Bang' appear on an orange/red background. They words are placed one by one onto the page along with dramatic gun shots. The background colour and the gun shots already tell you a bit about the film - that it could be an action or crime film. The black and white suits of the people in the animation could tell the audience more about the character. The audience could gather from that, that the characters are wealthy or well off. The contrast of this with the gun shots, could lead the audience to think that the money is not actually theres and that they could be thieves. The way the characters in the black suits have been designed is very similar to that in 'Catch Me If You Can' opening title sequence. They could have both been inspired by Saul Bass, or maybe 'Catch Me If You Can' was inspired by the modernised version Danny Yount. The girl falling past the moon is very similar to that in 'Mad Men', which is has been influenced also by Saul Bass' work. The lines across the page when the lady falls, and the stack of books which fall have also been inspired by Bass' work. It is very alike the lines in 'The Man With The Golden Arm' which represent joints and injections.
