THE ART OF THE TITLE: DELICATESSEN

We view the opening sequence of Delicatessen on The Art Of The Title website accessible here. We record our analysis in our individual blogs, noting the use of theme, colour and sound. 

We also read why it is highly rated by professional designer Karin Fong, a creative director and designer at Imaginary Forces, whose title work includes Terminator: SalvationBoardwalk Empire and Rubicon:
"One of my all-time favorite main titles. I love how it creates a whole world in tabletop. The production design in macro is fantastic, all the details and texture, along with the music, are so charming. But more than that, how it weaves in each of the crew credits with cleverness — the DP’s credit etched on the camera, the music credit on a broken record. I’ve always appreciated how integrated the titles are with the environment, as if they are waiting for you to discover each one. It almost becomes a game, and once you realize what is going on, you delight in seeing the idea in each one—yes, of course the costume designer would be stitched on a clothing label! It’s like every credit is its own little a-ha moment."
We work out our own version of this approach, using a school or college theme.
