2. Credits
For my credits I will be using a freeze frame for
each of my characters and then posterizing them.
I have chosen to do this because I took
inspiration from the film Snatch. During snatch it
introduces 11 characters which is to many in my
opinion because it can make the audience feel
overwhelmed with to many characters. That’s
why I’m trying to use a maximum of 5 characters.
Most of the credits in snatch use a bold white
font, line above or below there names and with
stars on one side or both sides. The stars could
imply there importance within the film so I might
use this only for my protagonist and antagonist.
The credits also have no background, they just
use block colours and then posterize the
characters. Also the colours used are all very
similar in the way that they are all dark but quite
natural colours since most of them are types of
green. This is something that I would like to use
in my opening scene. I will also be taking
inspiration from rock‘n’Rolla since it also using
posterization for its credits. To help me decide what
type of font I will use I will do some experimenting with
them.
4. Further Experimentation
To try and help me choose which one of 1) Adobe Gothic Std B–GANGSTER
these I want to use I am going to try and
2) Aharoni – GANGSTER
make my credits to see which one is the
3) Biondi – GANGSTER
most successful.

GANGSTER
GANGSTER
5. Final Credit
I chose to do my credits in white
because snatch, Layercake and
Lock, Stock And Two Smoking
Barrels all have there credits in
white. It will stand out a lot more
because of the posterized
background as well.
I’m using Capitol
letters because it
makes more of an
impact on the
audience.
I will use the lines and
the stars to represent
the characters
importance within the
film so it can help the
audience to establish
who are the characters
which the film will be
focussed on.
This is not a real
credit, I only used
the word gangster
as an example of
what my final
credit will look
like.
