The differences in credits of different genres and how they differ from one another

1. Text in Credits of Different
Film Genres
By Natasha and Lara

2. Sinister - Horror
• The font looks at though the
writing has been scratched into
the floor with potentially a knife
reflecting the horror genre
• The random capitalisation
suggests that a child or other
infantile being may have written
it
• The fact it has hanging people in
the background shows its horror

3. Austin Powers: The Spy who Shagged me -
Comedy
• The font is bubble writing and
throughout the credits, the
colour of the credits change
showing immaturity
• The font is strategically placed in
front of him so attention is
drawn to it and where it is
placed shows the sense of
comedy

4. Toy Story – Family Film
• This shows an iconic movie title
with simple primary colours to
show it is a film for children
• The large block letters are clear
and easy to read and they stand
out to the audience
• The red box on the bottom could
represent a toy box and the
“TOY” could show the toys
coming out of the box

5. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo – Crime
• The text of “with the” is small to
bring to attention to the rest
• The font is of a Japanese style
and the metallic of the font gives
the impression of a sword.
• The colours are very neutral and
this shows it may be quite a dark
film

6. Star Wars – Sci-Fi
• It is very plain but the yellow
contrasts against the starry
background showing it could
have a science-fiction genre
• The reversing of the credits once
they have been read could
represent a spaceship moving

7. The Watchmen - Action
• It has a comic font with the
superheroes in the background
• The writing is a plain block font;
however, it is the sort of font
you will find in a comic
• The credits move with the scene
such as a plane flying to show
action

8. Prometheus - Thriller
• The text fills up with colour like
an energy source
• The background also shows
history moving through time
• The letters kept flashing up then
disappearing to give a creepy
effect and the letters look as
though they are from the future
• The colours are all black and
white to show its very dark

9. The Fault in our Stars – Romance/Drama
• It is animated and the writing
looks like handwriting as if she
has written it in a diary
• It looks like it’s going to be quite
happy as there are lots of
children’s drawings around it
and the writing in simple on a
chalkboard as if they are back in
school again
