Analysis of contemporary titles/opening vs. older title/opening:
First I will look at Paul Donnellon's sequence as i researched him for a piece of research that we did and I thought that some of his sequences were very well done and were some of my favourite.
I looked at a more contemporary opening sequence first and that was for St Trinians

Giving the fact that Paul has a background in working in a graphic design place this really fit his unique style, he uses animation which has improved immensely over the past few years. He is able to use contemporary text that attracts the younger audiences also by using the colour pink it attracts the female sex into watching the film and by hinting that it is more of a female/teenagers sort of film.
Now I will compare this to Saul Bass...

The difference I noticed between the two is the simplicity and the restrictions of what they have produced and the refrain from modern technology. With Saul Bass he isn't able to use much technology because of the year that he did his sequences and the lines that he uses are his signature sequence. The use of the simple colours of black/white and grey show that not only is the film black and white because of the era but because they make the effect that the film is going to be a deep dark film that won't be pleasant to watch for some viewers. However like I have already said in Paul's sequence he has a lot of colour and imagination and compared to Saul's it is a lot more busy.
You can tell the time difference in not only the era but the you can also tell that Paul has had a lot of practice at what is recent and modern whereas Saul was only able to work with what he had at the time that he had it.
