Titles and Credits

Film Titles

From my research i found that many thrillers have big bold titles and are mainly white, black or red (colours that are just as bold as the writing). Furthermore many of the thriller titles were either one word or two, this made them short and snappy and in one way or another told us something about the film. In addition the background of the titles are either black or white, this just sets a very serious mood and doesn't give too much away. 

Film Credits 

I also looked at the different credits in thrillers, i found that all the writing was very simple and in most of the thrillers i saw that the credits were all in white with a black background. The actual text of the credits was very simple and small and each credit got its own queue, this meant that all the important people were acknowledged and it also created a slower more tense and suspicious feel to the film. 

Our Film title and credits

After all our research we decided to conform to the normal thriller titles and credits. We decided on a big and bold but short title so that we could have something eye catching without giving too much away. Furthermore we also decided that our credits would be very simple text so that the mysterious mood of the film wasn't being distracted by big silly text. However we decided that our credits would just fade in during the second half of our opening due to the fact that putting each credit on its own black screen would break the flow of our opening and would look really awkward and messy.
