The document discusses titles and credits in film trailers. It explains that titles are the name of the film presented near the end of the trailer, while credits include reviews, quotes, and cast/crew lists. Credits are used to showcase reviews to attract audiences and make them aware of who worked on the film. They are typically shown halfway through or near the end of the trailer and last 1-2 seconds. Production companies are introduced at the beginning while the director and writer are often credited at the end along with the release date. The purpose is to provide context around the film and attract specific audiences. Titles are usually placed near the end to leave the audience remembering the name.

is unique as they made it like a
seem like clock which matches with
their enigma that is being created of not
have a lot of time before someone dies.
The fading style that being used in
"Last Passenger" matches with the idea
of the storyline being in a train
