Film Credits

The purpose of the opening film credits are to state and tell you who are the producers, production company and other important people who are key to the production.

Colour

The colour of the text was white on a black background this makes the text stand out and makes it seem creepy and suspicious. The rest of the video clips for this section are also dull colours almost black and white apart form the blood which is a bright red, his shows death.

The style of the Credits 

there is a creepy style to the credits in this film as the words are not aligned straight this is because they are written at an angle and some letters are bigger then others. It also looks like t has been scratched onto the background, this shows that some has been tortured or that the killer is not mentally there. At the same time they were being flashed onto the screen, this males the audience scared and anticipated onto the edge of there seats. but the pictures behind are also flickering as if it is being played on an old time news real making it even more scarier.

Conventions

this is perfect for the conventions of a thriller because it is dark, the is creepy music that the tempo and he dynamics are increased for certain times of the clip. There is blood unclear clips, a crazy man in the background that is writing, sowing and using a blade to scrap his fingers. All of this creates fear, tension, and anticipation. The clips also show that the guy is a stalker as he is cutting up pictures, cross them out and writing up about them. also all the clips are a montage so the clips are changing within a couple of seconds.

Oder of Appearance

There is a list of people who are important and they come in a certain order, this order is as follows; Production Company, Director, Actor, Title of film, Actors Continued, Casting, Music Costume, Editor, Production, Camera Operator, Co-producer, Producer, Writing, and again the director because he is so important and famous.





Colours

The text in this clip is all capital and is in different colours with different names. some are red, some are white and some are black. some of the names just appear while some are written on paper and on see through plastic.



Style

The style of the opening credits are similar to the last clip as it is all dark mainly black and white. The text also flickers on the screen and this time they have shadows behind them making them stand out but at the same time they are hidden like there is something to hide which goes very well with batman as he is some that people know but yet is never seen. Even at the start where the makers and the production teams logos and introduction clips are black and white.

Conventions

because the clip is dark and things are hard to see it conveys that someone doesn't want to be found and they attack when no one knows where he is coming from who he is and what he is. This is conventional to a thriller as the audience has to try and figure out the mystery and this puts them on the edge of there seats with excitement and fear. Also the dark colours represents evil and death so you know that people are going to die. there are also photos of people which tells you that the killer/villain is after specific people and this gives you insight to who the characters are because the pictures match up with the names of the actors but they never show who the villian is so there is that secrecy that you have to figure out.


order of appearance

The order of appearance go as followed: Warner Bros., Legendary pictures, DC Comics, Syncopy, Warner Bros., Legendary pictures, DC Comics, Syncopy, Director, title, Actors, Characters by Bob Kane, Screen Play by..., Executive producers, and Dirctors. It is in this order as it goes through the most important roles in the production of the movie then it repeats the director because he is the mot important.

Group Analysis and Ideas

As a group we have discussed the different credits and which ones we liked and preferred. We like the used of motion tracking in other opening credits that we have seen and we also like the idea of white text on the background but with a glow like it would be a light. An example of this is:

But we want it to be white or more suitable colours. we want them to be gloomy and dark or at least the rest of the shot to be dim white a bright white text. one of the fonts that we liked we saw when we were watching a youtube video, the font is called optic and it has sharp edges that resemble a knife. this font was obtained from Dafont.com.





Another font that we liked was called face your fears and this was also from Dafont.com. this style looks like it is blood painted onto something which shows death and this is the font that we will be using. We want this font because it gives insight to what's going to happen in the future of the film. This will be the font that we will use because it is more conventional to a thriller
