His next collaboration with Preminger was to design a film poster for his 1954 film Carmen Jones. Preminger was so impressed with Bass's work that he asked him to produce the title sequence as well. This was when Bass first saw the opportunity to create a title sequence which would ultimately enhance the experience of the audience and contribute to the mood and the theme of the movie within the opening moments. Bass was one of the first to realize the creative potential of the opening and closing credits of a movie.

Butterfly Effect Notes

Butterfly Effect Notes:


The butterfly effect is a theory that a single occurrence, no matter how small, can change the course of the universe forever. I think this is kind of showing how little things can mean a lot, and, a very small event can cause a catastrophic change.

Some examples of this are:

1. While looking at some examples of the butterfly effect, i noticed the most popular example of this theory was how "the flap of a butterflies wings changed the air around it so much, it caused a tornado to break out two continents away."
2. Another example of this the theory that, if you were to go back in time and change anything, it would change the future dramatically. Something so small as maybe accidentally killing a bug or stepping on a butterfly, could change the entire universe by the time you get back. 

With all these examples, we can clearly see that something so small that happens daily can effect a huge part of anyones day.
Through this i learned that everything we do really does matter.
