Synchronization and Title Sequences

More about the book

Focusing on the synchronization of image and sound in film, this work offers a semiotic analysis of title sequences across various movies, from Vertigo to X-Men: First Class. Through detailed historical readings, Michael Betancourt establishes a foundational framework for critiquing motion graphics and explores the relationships between sound and visuals. By examining different methods of organizing visuals—such as voice-over and title songs—the author provides a theoretical description of how these elements interact on-screen.
