Saul BassTitle Sequence Analysis
Oceans eleven
About Saul Bass
Some people believe that Saul Bass is the ‘master’ of title sequences. This is because his designs are very simple yet interesting. Bass’s title sequences are very abstract and different to other title sequence. Also his films were made around the 1960s this shows that without the technology we have today he put together very stylish and interesting title sequences.
Oceans ElevenStyle
Saul bass’s style in making title sequences is very simple. For example in this pictures above it is just lights. However, these lights can represent things such as casino’s pop to mind when I look at them. Also Saul Bass is known for his simple yet abstract designs and in this sequence we see this. For example, in this image. The images start off as just lines but soon evolve into images that signify something.
• The title sequence was designed to give us an impression on the
movie before we actually see it. Therefore from this title sequence
we can predict that it is going to be about casinos, gambling and
money. From the title sequence we can see what kind of themes
will appear in the film. Themes such as disobeying the law to get
rich, or gambling to get rich. There fore the general theme we get
from the title sequence is gambling and the need to be rich.
Oceans ElevenThemes
Sound
• The music in the title sequence is upbeat and I think it goes well with the
genre of the film because it is set in the 1960s. The instruments used in
the song gives us the impression it is upper class as it is the stereotypical
music they would listen to. Also from the music we know that the film is
set in America as it is the traditional music of a brass band. Also we can
hear a person say ‘Beverly hills’ which indicates it is in America.
