R+P Post 8: The credits in our opening sequence

When deciding on our credits, we looked at other crime/thrillers to see which ones they included and how they stylised them. Some examples that we looked at are: Se7en, Shutter Island and P2, of which samples can be seen below.

For the order of our credits and their specific wording we found Se7en particularly helpful.

We were inspired by the flickering effect on the crew credits in the opening of Shutter Island. The effect fits very well with the genre and would help to create the unsettling atmosphere desired in our opening.

After our research, we decided on a white font and simple block capitals for the credits and the ones we plan to include are:

• Summit presents...
• A BBC Films production
• (Payback)
• Tyra
• Scott
• Grouped actors x4
• Casting by
• Music by
• Costume designer
• Make Up by
• Director of Photography
• Written by
• Edited by
• Producer Ray Baker
• Executive Producers
• Directer 

We have decided to position our credits in the two bottom corners of the screen so as to still be noticeable but not detract from the action going on.
