Opening titles and credits


This is a mindmap of my research into the way film openings use titles and credits. Things I have noticed are:
- that the credits go on for much longer through the film than I'd realised (3 minutes in Legally Blonde)
- that the colour and font is carefully chosen to match the genre
- that our genre in particular makes the credits part of the way of establishing the genre to the audience - they often appear over the action and not on separate title slides.
- there is also a specific order in which this credits appear, which I have noted on my mindmap and which we will be paying attention to as we make our own.
