Appearances
The printing press revolutionized literature and rubbed out illuminated manuscripts.
Cinema killed off the music hall.
Today a popular gizmo is threatening another intricate craft.
The art form is the TV title sequence.
The menacing tech is the little skip intro button that you reflexively click.
The outcome is changing the way stories are told and watched on screen.
Once upon a time, TV titles were simple cards displaying static text.
By the 1950s, they served as prologues, introducing characters and catchphrases, as in The Adventures of Superman.
Titles came to incorporate cutesy animations as in Bewitched.
Split screen effects, the Brady Bunch, and stunts, like the much emulated bonnet slide in the Dukes of Hazard.
Many came with earworm tunes.
Such as the finger clicking theme for the Adams family.
I think the film probably peaked in the era of prestige TV around the turn of the millennium.
Look at this.
Got yourself gone.
Think for example of the titles for The Sopranos, which are set to Woke Up This Morning by Alabama 3.
The protagonist, Tony, is glimpsed through cigar smoke and in a rearview mirror.
In these seconds he's close yet elusive, as in fact he remains for the following six seasons.
My personal favourite is probably the ghostly imagery in the first season of True Detective.
Which offers a concise montage of the show's Louisiana themes, sleaze, pollution, faith, guilt, and downright weirdness.
