Planning Opening Credits - Miss Georgiou

Credits are important within a movie as it credits those who have contributed to a production, opening credits introduce the important figures within the film. Opening credits since the early 1980s, identify the main actors and crew, while the closing credits list the whole cast and other actors.

 This is the conventional order of the opening credits: 

Name of studio, name of production company, producer name, big name actors, film title, featuring, casting by, music composed by, production designer.

Seven credit analysis:

The film Seven's opening credits are very good and will inspire me when making our groups opening credits. Firstly the font used is very conventional within thriller films, it appears as if it has been drawn on and is white, which stands out in front of the black background. The opening credits are also very good in terms of transitions and animations, the transitions are fast and create a sense of excitement within the audience as it is fast paced, and the credits move around almost jittering which creates tension with the audience. The distorted or erased effect of the writing also creates a sense of mystery with the audience. I was inspired to use the same sort of font within our opening credits as I thought it was conventional yet did not look too childish/pretentious.

Psycho credit analysis:

The film Psycho is another film that has a use of opening credits that I am interested in, the splitting effect used for the film title can create a sense of distress and danger as the words are broken. I will be attempting to use this to showcase the broken heart of the bride within our thriller opening credits. The use of white font and black background again has been used which can show that this is a popular method and I will consider this within my opening sequence. 

Our opening credits:

We found a font that the group agreed on entitled You Murderer online, and we will apply it to our opening as it is very conventional and much alike to the other fonts. The credits will only appear when the character is on the shot however credits may be integrated into the photo-album if people have more than one role. The font was initially decided upon as it had a sense of mystery to it and created the possibility to strike fear within the audience.
