Research Into Titles and Credits


Please click to view in larger readable format.

One thing I noticed was that it says in one examiner's report that film credits do not use 'starring' to introduce the actors, but from the films I selected, starring was used twice.

Both films where I looked at the order of the credits had 18 titles and credits. I had no idea it would be so many. There are some consistent elements (studio, production company, director) and then other less consistent ones.

The film title position varies with Splice being at the end and Cirque du Freak being towards the beginning. This is obviously left as an artistic decision. (Again, one examiner's report said that putting the title at the end was more like a trailer, but I would have to disagree from my research).

Font and colour are obviously important to help establish the genre and mood. Our credits need to be relatively unobtrusive but still in keeping.
