The opening credits of this film tell the story in brief with various animations. A convention of thriller is quite clear as the theme of 'identity' is there, as the main character is constantly changing his identity, giving a vibe of him being a con artist constantly trying to throw people and fool them. This is shown throughout the film. This also suggests to audience that if someone is changing their identity that someone is trying to seek or 'catch them'. The diagetic sound track reflects this as if has a 'mysterious' tone to it. The main animated character moves in a very distinctive way, making him appear shifty. This makes him appear as though he can keep calm under tense situations as expected from the protagonist in this genre. In the clip there is a lot of references to transport, this suggests the character impossible moving around a lot, suggesting he's constantly on the move. When it seems like he's going to get caught the music heightens, making the scene become tense for the viewer. although he doesn't get caught which makes the title 'catch me if you can' as he makes if difficult.
overall I think this title sequence is very effective as it gives a small insight to the film without giving to much away. its interesting therefore keeping the audience engaged without it getting boring. Spielberg successfully makes the title sequence have a dramatic flow.
