I chose to review the title sequence for the movie Catch Me if You Can.  The way the lines keep moving and the little character goes in and out of different scenery really exemplifies the content and theme of the movie, which is about a con artist who is constantly running from the FBI.  The audience can tell from the title sequence that the movie is going to be about someone always on the move and successfully, cleverly switching in and out of different roles, while evading capture. It puts the audience in the mood for a clever, suspenseful and fast-paced film. There is a strategic use of color: by using black, white, and 1-2 other colors at a time, the audience can focus on the title sequence’s little story line, and the names and credits that are created out of the lines.  It is interesting to see the effect created by lines in this title sequence.  The use of lines gives a sense of repetition, while also creatively extending the lines in the graphic images to form the text. It is easy to watch, as the character is constantly moving from left to right (Western), and the audience does not have to look hard to determine where the action is and where it is going.  I would not change anything about this title sequence.  I think it is successful in serving as a preview to the movie, and its creativity and use of visual elements make it interesting to the viewers.
