Moreover, the directors of the film will appear, followed by the editors and director; then lastly the name of the film. The way that the titles appear can associate with the genre of the movie, for example an action movie will have quick and sharp titles, whereas a Thriller would have slow and 'eerie' titles.
The titles of a film can also set the 'mood' and 'atmosphere' created, and again this can be done with genre of film it is, for example bold, and 'sharp' font could be associated with a Thriller movie, because it gives off those connotations.
The titles that are used within an opening sequence show who the characters are within the movie that the audience is about to watch. Another role is who the ‘Casting’ is by, and who the ‘Costume Designer’ us. Also, we are shown who the ‘music’ is by and who the ‘Editor’ is. In addition, we are shown who the ‘Production Designer’ is, and the ‘Director of Photography’ is in the film. We then see the ‘Executive Producer’ is, and then who it is ‘Produced’ by. Then, we lastly see who the film was ‘Written’ and ‘Directed’ by.
James, come back back to this post and add in notes about the job roles that feature in the opening credits to a film. The Sixth sense is a good one to watch. Just pause this as the opening plays and note down ALL of the different titles that appear - as you will need to include these in your own opneing.
