Film Posters & Title sequence
Many of Disney’s twentieth century animated films are now being re-made into realistic adaptations. For example, the revamped ‘Beauty and the Beast’, realised in 2017, is now a million-pound block buster movie made for a new generation of kids. For my project I have taken the real story of Pocahontas, one of the only Disney movies that hasn’t been re-made yet, and restyled it into something more contemporary but still keeping the original story. I have looked at the non romanticised version of events that took place during the time of Pocahontas which in fact is not her real name. According to ancient writings her name was Matoaka and she belonged to a group of about thirty Algonquian-speaking tribes located in Tidewater, Virginia.
I have produced a title sequence and a set of film posters for the hypothetical film of Matoaka. The title sequence would be presented at the beginning of the film and the film posters are to compliment and advertise the film. One of my main influences is Saul Bass and his title sequences like ‘Catch me if you can’ and ‘Autonomy of a Murder’. For the film posters I have used a mixture of mediums, but the overall look is digital. I have used scan in’s and manipulated them on photoshop and illustrator, and used a computer generated font. For the title sequence I have used traditional symbols from native America but animated them on after affects and added fake names which have made the new revamped film of Pocahontas
