http://www.artofthetitle.com/title/catch-me-if-you-can/

This helepd me to get another expression and idea, how titles are organized and shown to the audience.

The scence starts with the Production Firm, which presents the film. In this case it is Dream Works Pictures. 

 

It continous, with other Labels, which helped to produce the film, The Kemp Company and Splendid Pictures. After the Companies are shown, the opening scene enumerates the persons, who played the biggest role in the production and then it show the person, who´s film idea it was. The font and size of the font is so far everytime the same.

 

After the production Companies and Producers, the first actor is shown. Now a fancy yellow arrow is included, which point at a stickmen. The first actor is Leonardo DiCaprio so it starts directly with the main actor of the film, the person changes then her outfit, from a suit into a uniform of a aircraft capitan. This tells the audience about the plot, because DiCaprio act´s as a imposter. He changes the whole film between different jobs i.g. from Doctor to Aircraft Captian. After this the second protagonist is shown in form of Tom Hanks, he owns the role of the commissar.Afterwards, it show´s steps, which DiCaprio walks up and then they disappears behind him, consequently Hanks can´t follow him. This give the audience another clue for the plot, because nearly the whole time of the film the police is groping in the dark due to this mysteries imposter.

After this short sequence, which tell the audience the realtion between the two protagonists. After that the film title is shown in massive letters over the whole screne. Actually, the whole opening scecne is built up as a hide and seek game, or a kind of the famous child game tag. 

During the sequence  DiCaprio transform into many different Characters, a special detail for this transformation is always that the color of the screen changes completly i.g. Captian = cerulean. As you see in the Picture he changed from a Beachboy into a Doctor. In my opinion they used stripmens that the faces are unseen and not even the audience knows tha characters in deep from the beginning. This the same in the film, because Hanks and DiCaprio never see each other face-to-face until the end.

After the protagonist´s are shown in deep for a long part of the sequence, the different secondary characters are shown. But, they are only shown with names, they do not have a own stripmen character. The names are just, put in a random order.  

Finally all the other party of the production team are shown, like the Casting, Co-Producer and the author of the book.
