Research- CREDITS/TITLES

For my film I have to decide how I would like to make my credits and opening titles. Below are various examples of opening credits/titles for films. Some of the credits are more colourful than the others and standout a lot more, but because my film is going to be made into black and white and has a more mysterious plot/background idea I want my credits to be simple but interesting.



Above is an exmaple which I found on the internet of opening credits. The credits have been done with a black background and in white writing. The white writing is in a medium size font and is all in capitail letters, this makes it stand out on the background and easy to read. The credits look like they have been made to revolve in a circular motion, this would look interesting but I dont no if it would suit my film because it could look to fancy. I do like the idea of it being black and white though as it would fit in with my film.



Above is an example picture of opening credits/titles (FOX). The camera pans across from the right, leaving the shot when the camera nearly face on with the 20th CENTURY FOX text. The lights in the clip move around like spot lights through the air. This looks really high-tech and smart, it makes the title stand out and shows the audience who the film is made by. The title is very colourful and easily caputures the eye of the audience. The moving spot lights would be very hard to make, also the bold use of colours would not suit my film.

Above is another example of the opening titles/credits for the film 'BATTLE FOR HADITHA', this font/titles/credits would suit my film because it is simple but still stands out. It also looks mysterious/ strange because the black background makes the writing stand out alot. It also makes it easy to read. The black background also looks mystifying, the colour being black makes the film look more dark, this links in with the confusing gloomy plot.
