Researching and Creating Credits

When it came to the end of editing our 2 minute opening sequence we knew that would would have to add credits in introducing a variety of characters and rolls.
By researching into these credits we found out that credits are now usually shown as text superimposed on a blank screen or static pictures, or sometimes on top of action in the show. Some including music over the top, natural sounds or complete silence. All using different fonts, sizes and colours.
In our case we chose to use to have the credits fade in from the bottom right hand corner, stay for roughly 2.5 seconds and fade out again over the top of our action, with simple music over the top which fits our action, we got the idea of doing this from the professional film Reservoir Dogs as we both have the same sub genre.We had to choose i font that would refect the genre of our thriller, we choose to use Comic Sans in capitals as this fits our mysterious plot and makes our opening sequence look profession, to add to the professionalism we kept the font.
