I saw this title sequence last week and was glad to see that it contained many of the visual design aspects that we mentioned in class. What I noticed while watching it the first time, not as meticulously was that there was a lot of negative space and a huge distinction between what is the forground and what is the background. Objects in the foreground are black and more like silhouettes while the objects in the background tend to be sand(which is the negative space). After watching it more meticulously I saw that the only colors used were blue and orange, which are completementary colors. This means that the viewers’ eye is caught on the contrast. Also, the rule of thirds is prevalent because when there are objects in the foreground they are never in the middle, but rather on the sides. There is repetition used toward the middle of the song with the women and the different lines. Rhythm is also seem in the texture used to show the sand. The bodies in the sand, mostly legs, are also part of the above mentioned rhythm. Overall this title sequence, to me, was creative, sexy and most important it had my full attention for over three minutes.
