It was at this point that Bass realized the importance of the closing and opening credits of a film so he created  something inspiring. Bass has said  "My initial thoughts about what a title can do was to set mood and the prime underlying core of the film's story, to express the story in some metaphorical way. I saw the title as a way of conditioning the audience, so that when the film actually began, viewers would already have an emotional resonance with it.",[object Object]
Bass became popular after her designed the title sequence for The Man with the Golden Arm(1955). The plot of the film was about a  jazz musician‘s finding it very difficult to quit heroin and dealing with his personal addiction, this was a  taboo subject in the 1950’s. Bass decided to create a controversial title sequence to match the film's controversial subject. He chose the arm as the central image, as the arm is a strong image relating to drug addiction. The titles featured an animated, black paper cut-out arm of a heroin addict. As he expected, it was well received.,[object Object]
Saul Bass has turned pictures and words into stories for audiences to understand and remember he was truly a pioneer and well ahead of his time. ,[object Object]
