We spent some time looking at film openings in our genre with a specific focus on the title and credits to get ideas for how and when these appear and how our genre manages them.
Summary:
- In some thriller films, the classic white text against a black background is used to give the film a more serious atmosphere. If it's this type, it's usually in the middle, for titles and credits with images or videos as a background, titles and credits may have to be placed somewhere else to make both the titles & credits and background visible.
- In conjunction to the previous point, another factor to give the film a serious atmosphere is sometimes silence or very subtle music.
- Fonts for the credits are usually uniform to the title's film.
- Sometimes, actors (sometimes just the main actors) and director's names are used to keep it brief - our genre does not seem to use a long credit list.
- Each credit does not appear for more than 4 seconds.
- For our film, I think the white font with black background and probably some old photos is suitable for our genre.
