The shifting relationships between reading and seeing inform the audience’s interpretations of how text and image composed together on screen relate. Semiotics and Title Sequences develops a novel theory of interpretive modes that organize these interpretations, discussing them using detailed historical close readings of title designs drawn from the full historical range of film production and screen media, from classic films like The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1919) to modern television series like Castle. These foundational ideas are then extended to composites of typography beyond the title sequence such as subtitles, intertitles, and narrative typography.

Theatrical Design An Introduction Kevin Lee Allen This book emphasizes script analysis and interpretation specifically for designers: how to release meaning and design inspiration from lines and characterization in a script. It then explains the artistic elements and principles of design—the skills necessary to create the design visualized. Concepts are illustrated with examples from theatre, film, art, architecture, and fashion that explore professional and historic use of conceptualization and metaphor. Theatrical Design: An Introduction imparts the tools designers need to innovate off the page.
