also, we analysed a thriller to help our inspirations for the opening credits, the thriller we analysed was a thriller called 'seven' The order of which they appeared was as follows: Production company, director, actor, title of film, actors continued, casting, music, costumes, editing, production, camera operator, co-producer, producer, writing and the director again. when the credits appeared there was a dark background and low key lighting. The colour of the words on the credits were white and this had contrasted with the black background, these credits were conventional to the thriller because it created a sense of suspense and created the tone for the rest of the thriller. we will use these advantages of the credits to help create our own, as we will be using a similar font and black and white contrast to make our own thriller have a similar effect to the audience as 'seven'
furthermore As well as looking at the credits for se7en we decided to also look at the credits used in Black Swan. The credits used had similarities to those of which used in se7en but, also had a it's very own distinctiveness that made us a a group very inspired and educated for our own. The use of music hurting the credits was of a high pitch and was creepy and uncomfortable to listen to. This is conventional to the genre as a thriller is to do those things but, it made us an audience engaged and excited to view the following after the credits had been seen. The black swan allowed us to see how important credits were, as the actors names were of a familiarity which, enticed us to continue to read the following after as, it had caught our attention. We hope that by using the inspiration from both The Black Swan and Se7en that our our credits featuring in our video will be as effective as their's was.
In conclusion the use of credits within our film will allow us to inform our audience into the creation of our thriller and to give recognition to those who had an involvement. By using and watching other thrillers credits we were able to see and take inspiration from the credits which, in result will improve our own. Overall, the research into credits has educated us as a group and as individuals into credits and the importance of them.
In our thriller film we have decided what type of credits we would like to use. We have gathered this from watching our inspirations, taking notes and taking our own thriller concept into account. We have decided that we are going to use a black font, which, will stand out on our chosen background and also knowing that the colour black will connote fear and danger. Here is what we would like our thriller credits to look like:
As we can see from this font it is rather jolted and the letter lengths are irregular which, makes the audience feel as if the thriller itself will be un-easy. Below is a font that as a group we decided would be the least likely font for us to use:
This is due to the font being quite flowery, girly and of a 'pretty' nature. This would not fit our concept of a frightening thriller as the font would connote something else rather than this.
To conclude our choosing of opening credits we are happy with our choices and feel like we have taken a lot of great care and detail into the choosing of them due to, the research, discussions and group meetings we have had regarding them.
