Hello, today's post will be regarding the credits that will occur within the film introduction.
One part of the introduction that is usually not thought of when viewing a movie is the opening credits. The opening credits only show some of the people who took part in the creation of the film. This is not to be confused with the ending credits, where every person/company that worked on the movie is credited.
The people that should be featured in the opening credits are the producer, director, writer, cinematographer, editor, and the major actors. In my scenario, the producer, director, writer, cinematographer, and editor would be the same person, but it would still be beneficial to include each credit separately, as that is how it is done in more professional movies. They should never be scrolling down in the beginning of a movie either.
The credits can't just be added out of nowhere though, because then they would appear to be forced. My idea is to have the credits appear in the time between the flashbacks. It would allow the scene to keep flowing, and the credits would not impede upon the most important moments.
Moreover, the use of a specific font would greatly assist with setting the tone of the movie. As a result, I have decided to use the Rokkit Typeface font. (Shown below) It is a very normal font, with no extravagant features that are used to intrigue viewers. I chose this font because it is somewhat serious. Its normality represents how drama movies work. In pure drama movies there are rarely fictional events and climactic final battles. This font represents seriousness, which is usually the tone of a drama movie. One drama movie that uses this font in its poster is "Room" by Emma Donoghue.
The opening credits are often not completely looked into, so putting some thought into it is most likely a good idea if I want my movie to look good and fit the genre that I want it to be in. That's everything regarding font and credits in my movie introduction, so make sure to come back next time when I discuss the final preparations before filming. Thank you for reading and farewell!
