Titles

For our movie we will need to create titles, so we spent a lesson looking at the order, font and style of titles, in a few movies similar to ours, such as Mean Girls and Juno.

 

We wrote down the order it appears in Mean Girls (couldn't get the clip up, but it's in this post)

1.   Production company

2.   A (someones name) production

3.   Lead Actor

4.   Film title

5.   It then lists the actors, not syncing any shots of them with their character apart from Tina Fey's name coming up. This is because she also wrote the screenplay or had some other role in the creation of the film.

6.   Casting Director

7.   Based on the book

8.   Music supervisor

9.   Music conductor

10. Co producer

11. Costume designer

12. Editor

13. Production designer

14. Director of photography

15. Executive producer

16. Produced by

17. Screenplay by

18. Director

From this, we know that for our film the first credit should be the Lead Actor and the last should be the Director, as they are the credits that stick in people's minds and are likely to be more well known by the general public.
