Final Credits and Practice

At the beginning of our opening sequence we have decided to integrate the credits throughout. We have chosen the font we will use and I have conducted previous research into what names etc we should include. However, due to the fact of there only being four people in my group and needing to include more credits than this, we have decided to make up the names for the credits so we are not repeating our own names multiple times. We thought this would make the opening sequence seem more realistic as it conforms to the codes and conventions of an opening sequence.

The names we have decided:
Studio:Wellington studios

Production company: Wellington Media

Director: M. Night Shyamalan 

Producer: Scott Takeda

Starring: Joseph Cardoza
Starring: Olivia Mclean

Film Title: Carmen

In terms of integrating our credits into our opening sequence we have decided to think about the representation behind it. Instead of just adding the credits to the frame we have decided to almost hide them behind significant objects throughout. This challenges the stereotypes of opening sequences within the thriller genre and can also portray the fact that she has been hidden. It can also suggest things about the characters e.g. that we don't know the whole story or the whole personality behind the characters. After making this decision i decided to attempt at integrating some credits into short clips that we are planning to include in our final piece.


Review:
After having a go at integrating the credits within the simple frames i have realised its a lot harder than it looks.

• I originally didn't consider the fact that objects don't just vanish so i would have to make the credits swipe in consistency with the speed the object is moving at so it reveals the text underneath. 
• I found it a lot harder to make the font look 'hidden' when it was placed vertically on the screen as it meant you had to crop it frame by frame to reveal more of each word.
