Synchronization and Title Sequences proposes a semiotic analysis of the synchronization of image and sound in motion pictures using title sequences. Through detailed historical close readings of title designs that use either voice-over an instrumental opening or title song to organize their visuals-from Vertigo (1958) to The Player (1990) and X-Men: First Class (2011)-author Michael Betancourt develops a foundational framework for the critique and discussion of motion graphics’ use of synchronization and sound as well as a theoretical description of how sound-image relationships develop on-screen. |Synchronization and Title Sequences Audio-Visual Semiosis in Motion Graphics | Filmmaking & Post Production
