1. Assignment 52:
Titles and Credits Planning
Abdullah Khan

2. Goodfellas Opening Titles
• Bold white font used as it contrasts with the clear black
background therefore standing out well for viewers.
• Titles presented before
the opening sequence
begins to illustrate the
serious nature of the
film, being an R-rated
gangster classic, ‘based
on a true story’.
• There is only the sound of a
vehicle driving as this is
presented, helping to establish
the upcoming sequence.

3. Zodiac Opening Titles
• The font is faded and words do no not have capital letters,
reinforcing the enigmatic coded letters of the Zodiac killer.
• Titles presented after
the opening scene as
the audiences are first
presented to the
antagonist without the
disruption of titles.
• The faded white colour
helps signify and
illustrate something
from the past as the film
is based on the story of
the Zodiac killer.

4. Terminator 2 Judgment Day Opening Titles
• The writing is White,
bold and placed
centrally, illustrating
the significance of
the named people to
the audience.
• The font has a robotic look to it, reinforcing the
involvement of machines, yet looks suitable and smart.
• Very few titles are
presented, the
sequence quickly
transitions to the
introduction of the
antagonist.
