Research Opening Credits/Typography

What Is An Opening Credits?
Opening credits are shown in the beginning of the film. This is done to show to the audience the most important members of the production of the film, E.G. Famous Actors/Actors and crew members.

Purpose Of Opening Credits
- Credit to the people who took part
- Advertisement

What Information Does Opening Credits Do?
Opening credits are for the audience to know who the major actors and the crew members in the production of the film. For example, production company, soundtrack creator, editor, director or producer(s). Also when making a film if there is a person that has died while making or being part of the production of the film they are honoured through opening credits.

What Do You Expect In The Opening Credits?
The opening credits attract some of the audience because of who stars in the film of being an actor/actress. For example, Tom Cruise. 
What the audience should expect in the opening credits is the all the names of the important people that took major roles in making the film/crew members. 

How Does It Make The Audience Feel?
The opening credits in films are effective because when you see the opening credits it is followed with a soundtrack, with doing this it allows the opening credits to create tension towards the audience. 

Typography
What typography is when it describes the type of font that is used also the colour and size of it.

This type of font can be used in the opening credits because this shows the audience the darkness and mysteriousness that could be in the film because of the font is rubbed our very little on the letters. Doing this will create suspense among the audience because of the mystery which makes the audience question why they have used this font. 

This typography in the movie se7en you can see that the font is capitals and there is blood on it, with the number seven fading, the font is like the stencil. The blood and the typography allows the audience to think straight away why is there blood also the font makes the audience wonder about the movie. Using this typography and the blood effect it builds suspense within the audience. 

With this typography it is the font 'arial' this font is not the best to use as because you would think it would create tension, but the way that this has been use with the title of the movie creates tension, as you can see the colour is just black it can represent the darkness and all the bad that happen in the movie and this allows the audience to become more intrigue with the movie. 

Overall the research of opening credits and typography has helped because it allows me to know the conventional thriller genre fonts to use. Also the research of opening credits has helped me understand of how to use the opening credits and how it will affect the audience.

In My Thriller:

With my thriller he opening comes in with a fade of the title, then it fades into black to show an image of the couple in thriller, as the camera zooms out you see that it is a storyboard of this subject, as it zooms out it the credits of the people that produce the thriller. My aim towards the audience is to make the audience think of what is going to happen straight away with the title and its typography, also using a different font in the opening credits that will help create suspense in the opening of the thriller.
