Opening Credits

 I Watch the following film opening from the film ‘Seven’ and identify the following points:

·         The colours used

·         The style of the credits

·         The use generic conventions of a thriller film

Seven 

·         The colours used - 

 White Text Sometimes Grey

·         The style of the credits- 

The text has been carved into to something

·         The use generic conventions of a thriller film -

that the text relates to the film and what is behind the text

Catch Me if You Can

·         The colours used - 

black on a blue background
·         The style of the credits- 

            the lines flow into the text

The credits I liked the best and to use it as my inspiration for creating own film credits was Face Off opening credits 

I liked this one because the text stands out but fade out with out you knowing it also give you time to read i will like to use this type of technique in my own production.

 As a group we decide on the following:

1) The size 
small around 16/17 font size because we want the text to be there but we want the audience to choice to read it or not.
2) The colour(s)
RED because we want it to stand out from it background and red is a colour theme from are thriller
3) The order in which they will appear 
we looked it to this and found that there is a way to do the order http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opening_credits#Common_opening_credits_order
4) The style of font- Remember that it needs to follow the generic conventions of a thriller film
the style of font we looked at  website providing  scary font we looked at 21 different font till we found one for us .
