The title sequence shows the audience a different kind of sequence. The sequence gives the audience a small insight to the films plot as well as leaving hints for the audience to guess for what will happen in the film.
We are introduced to a mysterious diegetic sound, this reflect to the genre of the film. An animated man carries the mysterious genre through out the sequence. The animated man connotes that he is the main character of the film who seems to be trying to hide himself as he tries to keep himself away from another character. This is related to the title of the film "Catch Me If You Can". As well as this, it may keep the audience curious as they would want to know what he's running from. The opening shots of the title shows the distribution companies that were behind the production of the film. In this case, DreamWorks Pictures. The next scene shows us the director of the film, Steven Spielberg.
Catch Me If You Can is different to other opening sequences mainly because of the typography and how its a animated sequence. A reason as to why this is good is because it's an example of how a film producer can convey a message about the actors as well as establishing the setting in the beginning part of the film. The typography of the sequence matches the images on the screen. For example when the title of Leonardo Decaprio came we saw the image of his character.
The fact that the film is based on a true story makes the audience look at the movie in a much different way as its based on real life events which makes the movie a lot more exciting. The opening sequence also does a good job in establishing the setting of the film. In this case, America. This is backed up by the urban buildings and the yellow taxi's. Looking at how the character in the sequence keeps on changing clothes we can gather that the theme of the movie is identity. Also, the sound that is used is Jazz music which connotes that the film is set in the 40's or 50's.
