Catch Me If You Can - 9 Frame Analysis, Opening Titles.

Catch Me If You Can is a comedy-drama made in 2002, starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hanks as the leads and directed by Steven Spielberg.

Frame 1
From the first frame of the opening titles of Catch Me If You Can, the audience sees a very graphic and almost- comic book like frame. The writing is generally squared but also curves to fit in to the rest of the piece.

Frame 2

Small figures are incorporated into the piece, the black showing vibrantly against the block colourful background.

Frame 3

The main title is also incorporated well into the piece, the word 'me' being highlighted in white, shining out against the other words and the back ground.

Frame 4

The colour changes through the frames to suit the mood of the image being portrayed.

Frame 5

As the frames change, the colours do too, maybe to suggest a series of themes. In this frame, the colours are bed and white but filter through with red to give an edgy sort of allure to the frame.

Frame 6

Again, the colours change and so do the titles in terms of the font and shapes created. This frame gives a complete different image to the frame before.

Frame 7

Various styles are included in the opening title, such as this image - straight lines and shadows, again, offering a different visual thought to the audience.

Frame 8

The titles are clever in terms of images, as they create interesting shapes that suit the idea and themes of the film.

Frame 9 

Throughout the entire opening scenes of Catch Me If You Can, all the images are graphic and obviously made by using technology which although suggests things to the film, doesn't give anything away about the film such as characters or settings.
