Film titles/credits

BY ADAM AND ZAK

2. The opening title sequence I will be
looking at is the shining it is linear.

3. The order of credentials
Director comes first,
most credited
Actors are second
Then the title mid way
through this makes it
most noticeable as the
font is slightly bigger
Important also come
last e.g. producer
Credit is given to the
writer of the book

4. The font and placement of credits
The Font is standard
Arial it is very basic and
doesn't give much
away of the film. This
connotes mystery.
The font moves up the
screen. This shows the
passing of time as the
shots are taken in long
takes. This implies that
there is a journey.

5. The size and colour of font
The colour of the font is
light blue this is ironic as
he film is of the horror
genre. The strange
colour of font also
foreshadows the
strangeness of the film.
The size of the font is
big and is in capital
letters to show the
importance of the
people and title.

6. The font and its suitability to the
horror genre
We don't think that this font and credit sequence is a generic convention of the horror genre
however due to its subtle irony it is used effectively. We think that this credential sequence is suitable
for the horror genre.
