Credit Sequences Within Genre

 Credit sequences play a huge roll in film openings. It is important to give credit to those who are an important factor for the movie. In order to get ideas for my group and I's credit sequence I watched 3 films. Research is really important when creating something like this!!

A Simple Favor  Credit Sequence

The credit sequence within this film opening begins with the production company being shown. It then shows a slideshow of a variety of pictures like brownies, shoes, alcohol, and more. While these images are shown, the major actors/actresses are illustrated on screen. I like how not to much information is shown within this film opening because it gets the viewer to really focus on the most important part, the people behind the film. Without these people, the film would never happen!!

Gone Girl  Credit Sequence

This specific credit sequence is one that I really liked. It begins with the credits for the production companies. It then straight away provides a voice over of a man talking. Right after a short clip is shown of a woman, a black screen is illustrated. On this screen, the credits begin. The major actor's names are shown, and then the title. Throughout the rest of this opening, a small text is provided of all the other actors and other important people like the costume designer, the music artist, the film editor, and so much more. I really liked this credit sequence because it gave credit to those who played a role in creating the film, while also leaving the opening a mystery.

The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo  Credit Sequence

This credit sequence automatically uses strong, loud music. This along with the images provided give off almost a scary feeling yet still providing a mystery. The credits are shown on the screen giving out the names of the major actors, set and costume designers, producers, and other important people who played a role in creating this film. This credit sequence showed many graphic images which tie into the mystery genre because it has me questioning, why such harsh images? Why is there only dark colors?
