Saul Bass was the greatest font designer. As a group we discussed tittle choice and came to a conclusion that the title of our film should be '4 faces' but in discussing the title that our film should be we looked at videos from soul bass to get some inspiration.
We watched a documentary on Saul Bass which is based on his various title use in different films. There were a number of elements to Basses documentary which inspired us in the decision-making of our film title:
- In the documentary Saul Bass said that a film title should ' Set the stage symbolically for what was about to come.' In discussing our film title we took into consideration what title could be comedic, as our film is a comedy, or portray a kind of humour in a way without giving anything away too much but will set the stage for our film, symbolically.
- Another thing that Saul Bass said in his documentary is that a title of a film should also be a 'significant contribution to the storytelling process'. We took this into consideration when picking the title of our film as we discussed our title being clear cut and straightforward and by this its significance to the film would be revealed; as well as the fact it will add to the storytelling process.
Overall. Saul Bass inspired a great deal of our thinking in terms of the title of our film. As we decided on the title of our film which will be '4faces' we took several elements from Basses documentary. For example, Bass said that a title of a film should be significant and add to the storytelling process. Our title is significant to our film as there are 4 people brought together with very different personalities from different social groups to form another social group which will be difficult, thus making the part of our title 'faces' as it represents different people/personalities. This will also add to the storytelling process as that is the main plot of the opening sequence put into two words for the audience.
