opening credits

Opening credits for a thriller film are important because they are the very first thing in the film seen by the audience and they can give the first impression of a film, it can also show what type of genre the film is which gives the audience an insight of what they are going to be watching. .

The opening credits of Se7en




These opening credits are very well done because they relate to the thriller and instantly creates a suspense about the thriller.

the credits are mainly black and white but occasionally flashes of red. The white writing contrasts the black mysterious background, the flashes of red represent danger and blood which creates a sense of fear through out the credits.
The credits are shown small and flickery, this shows how were their similar to flickering lights which are associated with panic or anything to do with danger.
the music that goes with the credits is very eery and mysterious, the non diegetic sound matches what's in the scene, where there is a marker pen the noises are matching the image.



The sixth sense opening credits





This opening credit sequence is similar to the other one because it has flickering writing as well and music that is very mystical and eery this music matches the film as it is a sixth sense, the music sounds twinkly which would associate the music with a child. The main character of the thriller is a young boy who is able to see dead people.




Our credits for our thriller film have been inspired by se7en. We chosen these particular credits because we feel that the whole idea of our credits are similar to what we have seen in se7en.


This is the final font that we have chosen to use for our thriller. We feel that because the font is unclear and its blurry, it reflects the story line of our thriller. Our thriller includes a spirit that has come from the ouija board that we are playing tha goes wrong. Throughout the thriller the demon is unclear and all that is seen of him is an outline standing behind the doors. this is similar to the font as you can only see the outline of the letters and the rest is blurred.

  1. This post demonstrates a basic understanding of why credits are used in thriller films. You have made a start in anlaysing two opening sequences but you need to refer your points to more detailed examples from the films.

    Also you still need to complete the last task, which is deciding on your group credits

  2. You have now identified the style of font that you would like to include within your production, so now you and your group need to decide on what your credits will say and why?
