Rick Prelinger tirelessly oversaw the project from start to finish, developing the research strategy, selecting and documenting films, collecting holdings data, and writing and indexing the entries. The guide is a testament to his knowledge, enthusiasm, and perse- verance. Assisting Rick in refining the methodology were a team of archivists and scholars: Dan Streible (New York University), Donald Crafton (University of Notre Dame), Michael Mashon and Amy Gallick (Library of Congress), Wendy Shay (National Museum of American History, Smithsonian Institution), Margaret Compton (University of Georgia), Abby Smith, and the staff of the National Film Preservation Foundation. As the project took shape, this group advised on the scope and content. Several experts—Jennifer Horne (Bryn Mawr College), Steve Lubar (Brown University), Gregory Waller (Indiana University), and Charles McGovern (College of William and Mary)—critiqued the film selection in the winter and spring of 2006 and offered invaluable suggestions for improving coverage and documentation. Additional suggestions were contributed by colleagues attending the University of South Carolina’s Orphan Film Symposium, which in March 2006 featured a panel and film screening based on the project. In summer 2006, Alex Thimons, a Cornell University undergraduate who had helped in the initial stages of the project the previous summer, returned to fact-check the manuscript and assist, under the direction of the NFPF staff, in its final preparation. We owe him a special thanks for his exacting and perceptive research.

Thank you. Annette Melville, Director National Film Preservation Foundation v INTRODU C TION The Field Guide to Sponsored Films is a first effort to review and assess the thousands of industrial and institutional films sponsored by American businesses, charities, educational institutions, and advocacy groups over the last century. In the tradition of the naturalist’s field guides, it describes examples discovered by patient observation and points out their identifying characteristics. In so doing, The Field Guide calls attention to historically sig- nificant but neglected titles, makes an argument for reclaiming their rightful place in film history, and suggests directions for scholarship. Sponsored films are as old as film itself. From the earliest years of cinema, motion pictures have been produced to record, orient, train, sell, and persuade. Though it is estimated that 300,000 industrial and institutional films have been made in the United States—far more than any other type of motion picture—the film type is little known. Almost every major company, national business association, and educational institution produced or commis- sioned titles intended for staff, customers, or the public. Today these films are valuable both as documentation of past places, events, and practices and as examples of changing styles of rhetoric. Although it is tempting to characterize sponsored films as specimens of extinct media, it is more accurate to see them as part of a continuum that today includes video

Suppose you want to announce or sell something, amuse or persuade someone, explain a complicated system or demonstrate a process. In other words, you have a message you want to communicate. How do you “send” it? Graphic design is a part of your daily life. From humble things like gum wrappers to huge things like billboards to the T-shirt you’re wearing, graphic design informs, persuades, organizes, stimulates, locates, identifies, attracts attention and provides pleasure. Graphic design is a creative process that combines art and technology to communicate ideas. The designer works with a variety of communication tools in order to convey a message from a client to a particular audience.

  • Saul Bass Danny Yount
    Ethan Pollard! Production Methods! Professor Meranda! !2/20/2014! SAUL BASS! ! Saul Bass is one of the most influential designers of history, with work that is readily recognized and celebrated by many people on a daily basis, designers and non- designers alike. Bass was born in the Bronx, NY, in 1920. In 1936 he was awarded a scholarship to the Art Students’ League in Manhattan, where he studied design. He moved to Los Angeles in 1946 to work as an art director at an advertising firm, and in !1952, opened his own studio, Saul Bass & Associates.! Bass was incredibly prolific in his output, and is responsible for the designs of many of well-known logos, including United Airlines, Quaker Oats, AT&T, and the Girl Scouts. What he is most well-known for, however, is his work in film title design. In 1954 he made his first foray into this field with Otto Preminger’s Carmen. It was a year later, however, that his career in film titles bean to really take off. In 1955 he created the opening titles for Preminger’s The Man With the Golden Arm, starring Frank Sinatra as a jazz musician struggling with a heroin addiction. Bass’s titles feature a graphic, cutout- style image of an arm—an iconic image of drug addiction—and caused a sensation !upon the film’s release.! Until this point, film titles had always been a fairly dull necessity, often barely linked to the film they were preceding. Saul Bass changed all of that, making the film titles a preface for the film itself, using his incredible ability to distill the entire story to one iconic image.

Die aus fremden Quellen direkt oder indirekt übernommenen Gedanken sind als solche kenntlich gemacht. Die Arbeit wurde bisher in gleicher oder ähnlicher Form keiner anderen Prüfungsbehörde vorgelegt und auch noch nicht veröffentlicht. Ort, Datum Unterschrift 3 Danksagung Mein äußerster Dank gilt Herrn Mag. Dr. Otto Mörth für die wertvolle Unterstützung und Zusammenarbeit. Ich bedanke mich herzlich bei meiner Familie, die mir während des Studiums unterstützend zur Seite stand. Besonderen Dank an Lena Huber-Huber für ihre kompetente Beratung bei grammatikalischen und stilistischen Fragen. Ein großes Dankeschön auch an Adrian Hügel für die moralische Unterstützung während der Erstellung dieser Arbeit. Des Weiteren bedanke ich mich bei Anselm Tröster für das große Interesse an meinem Thema und die motivierenden Worte. 5 Abstract / deutsch Diese Arbeit behandelt das Zusammenspiel von Typografie und Grafikdesign in Film- titelsequenzen und die Qualitäten, die daraus für die Filmerfahrung entstehen. Mit der vielfältigen Formensprache im Vorspann entstehen unterschiedliche Funktionen für die Filmrezeption, die ich exemplarisch an neun ausgewählten Werken von Saul Bass untersuche. Der Grafikdesigner und Regisseur leistete ab den 50er-Jahren einen bemerkenswerten Beitrag zur Entwicklung des Vorspanns. Er trug dazu bei, dass Filmtiteldesign als integraler Bestandteil der Filmstruktur aufgefasst wird.

  • In His Work, Bass Did Not Just Create Doodles That Became Logos. He
    Saul BASS In his work, Bass did not just create doodles that became logos. He worked to understand the culture both current and desired, as well as the essence and objective of a company's competitive strategy and its brands. In many cases, such as after a merger or takeover, the new corporate identity was an opportunity to establish a new sense of shared identity that might lessen or avoid political in-fighting or lack of direction. He did not just think of corporate identity as a logo that goes on a letterhead, the sides of trucks, on product packaging and on uniforms and stickers This would be entirely missing the point, or more accurately, missing an opportunity to rigorously analyse and think about what the company stands for and what it needs to mean to employees and customers. He had a specific and strict process of analysis that is a perfect illustration of how designers must blend the left and right brains as they develop the best solution. Read his own words - CLICK HERE Almost as soon as movies started, it was well known that the best way to lure your audience into cinemas was to use the faces of your leading cast in the middle of your advertising (e.g Casablanca). The bigger the star, the more the appeal. So it must have taken a brave boardroom decision for the producers of the 1955 film The Man with the Golden Arm to approve Saul Bass’ revolutionary poster for the film. Bass had pushed aside images of Frank Sinatra and Eleanor Parker in favour of a grotesquely bent arm reaching boldly through a higgledy-piggledy font in which the title appeared.
