This week during our free periods and media lessons we finally added the opening credits to our film opening. We experimented with different sizes, fonts and colours to decide which one looked best and fitted in with our film genre and also reflected the storyline.After a few disagreements and mixed opinions we all finally decided on one that we all thought hit all the targets we wanted to achieve.
We settled with white credits as it fitted well with the background of the fast shots and the colour white has the connotations of purity which reflects Elle the victim. We did not just leave it as a pure block colour of white we adjusted the contrast of the colour and managed to achieve a translucent effect which we thought looked scarier and fitted in with our genre.
We also typed it in capital letters rather than small caps as it stands out more and appears clearer to the audience when they read it. The way it appears on the screen also plays a major part as it reflect the storyline. We used a type where it appears quickly on the screen and then quickly blurs out off the screen, the quick movement of the credits reflects the rapid chase between the two characters which is a significant part of the film opening.
