Own credit ideas

Talk about colour, font, font size, position of credits, effects, length of time, what the credits say and refer to other film credits

The first thing we discussed involving credits was what each credit would say. We decided that we were going to use the following credits: Name of production company, A film by, Starring, Casting by, Music composed by, Production designer, Edited by, Produced by, Written by, Directed by, Eye Spy (name of film). We looked at other films to help us with the opening credits as they show how spaced apart each credit is and what the credits say.

We chose the colour red for our credits because it represents death and fear which are conventions of the thriller genre. Originally we chose a font that looked digital to fit in with our theme but it did not look like a typical thriller font so we changed it to the font shown in the image below.

 

We put all of the production roles at the top of the screen and the names at the bottom of the screen so that every time a new credit is shown it can be clearly identified. We tried to keep all of the credits on the screen for roughly the same amount of time and all the same size except for the final credit which says "Eye Spy" because it is the end of the opening scene where the screen turns back and the credit starts off small but then zooms in. We added an effect called "earthquake" to the credits that showed our names to make the credit look more thriller-like.
