Credits Inspiration



See 3.24 onwards.

I recently watched the movie 'Batman Dark Knight' and took and interest into how the credits were used. However, this particular movie does not have any credits in the beginning of the film, only at the end. Reguardless of this fact, I still noted what the credits looked like and how they were used and from this movie is where i gained my inspiration. I liked the use of plain white text, it is simple and stands out. It catches the eye of the audience as it is a completely different colour from the backround and anything else that would/could be in the frame. The font of the text is also very basic and is not generated to look fancy or stylish. I think this draws more attention to the genre of the film. This film is an action thriller and so has quite an excited but eerie atmosphere and the basics of the text help tp promote this by making it appear that, in a simple way, everything is okay. However, as a result of the thriller theme, it is not. I also noticed that the text itself was positioned in the centre of the screen in a straight line. My movie is also a thriller and for the titles I decided to incorporate the use of white bold text with a basic font. I believe that this has allowed the credits to stand out and also add to the eerie atmosphere of a thriller, even if white does challenge the conventions of a thriller.
