Saul Bass

This week we looked at title sequence designer Saul Bass and his unique style we looked at such title sequences such as the man with the golden arm which uses his trademark style of using simple lines and shapes to create very stylised artistic sequences, below is a catalogue of his work.

after researching saul bass i was told to research another title sequence designer called Richard Morrison (which is on my blog as an entirely separate post)

Saul Bass's style of work uses a simplistic style of combining abstract shapes and bright colours it is used particularly well in the west side story title sequence in which the background changes colours and faint lines, eventually the lines disappear to reveal the lines are skyscrapers of new york.






This is the title sequence for made by Saul Bass you can tell this as it has his iconic style of simple shapes moving around a plain background of single colours. The sequence begins on a grey background with body parts appear with the title written on them in white writing as the sequence continues we see body parts get cut into smaller pieces this is a style typical of Saul Bass as it is a very simple, artistic sequence which doesn't follow a plot-line this doesn't really help me with any ideas for my groups title sequence at the moment, we may be able to borrow some elements of Saul Bass's work to create our title sequence.
