Saul Bass was the father of title sequences and is viewed as the industry's pioneer. Bass's most remarkable work came though his collaboration with director Alfred Hitchcock.
One of the best examples of Bass communicating a narrative is his graphic composition in movement for Hitchcock's "North by North West" here parallel lines enter from the right, while another set of lines enter vertically across the screen from above and below, the set of lines then intersect froming a grid. This coupled with the musical score function as a prologue to the movie, setting the tone and establish the mood for the film to follow.
