5. What makes Saul Bass creative?
• Before Bass opening credits were seen to be like the beginning of a
book
• He saw the opportunity to be creative and produce something new
• ‘Generative’ thinking lead Bass to see an answer rather than the
answer
• Bass made title sequences part of the film rather than just opening
credits, creating something new and original that people had never
seen before

in the title sequence rather than it being something you could miss
1940 - Rebecca
its a mad mad mad mad world - Saul Bass
6. How has he influenced today?
• The work of Bass has influenced the way title sequences
have been created by giving a chance to set a mood for
the film before the scene has even begun.
• Bass ended the term ‘Opening credits’ and replaced it
with the term ‘Title sequence’
• Without the creativity of Bass and his designs we could
still be using the old method of opening credits today and
we would not have title sequences like we see in films
such as James Bond
