Order of titles/credits

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo:


The opening credits start with the production companies, Columbia Pictures, Metro Goldwyn Mayer Pictures and Scott Rudin Yellow Bird production. Then the directors name appears, yet he is not formally introduced as the director. Daniel Craig and Rooney Mara are introduced first as they play the two main protagonists. The rest of the actors and actresses follow. Yet before, they appear, the title of the film appears, breaking up the more important cast members, and the rest of the cast. The first behind the scenes staff to be introduced are the casting staff, costume designers, co-producers and sound producers. This is very similar, if not the same order, to the 'Superbad' film. More behind the scenes staff follow on, such as, the editors, production designer, director of photography, executive producers and the producers. This is exactly the same as with the 'Superbad' film, which reinforces that this may be the correct order to do it in. As the film follows a book, a title appears making reference to the book and its author and publishers. Next up it's the screenplay writes and finally David Fincher, whom is now formally introduced as the director of the film. The credits are done in a iconic style that can be linked to the genre of thriller and horror, of which the film's genre is. This is done by through the use of an unusual font, that can be related to the genre of the film, horror. The title of the film is in a bold font, as to be recognised as the main title. The titles are very frequent, and quick paced;creating tension. The graphics relate to the films genre and help to convey the film's genre. The graphics add tension and happen at great pace. The colour is dark, again depicting the genre of the film. The meaning of each title, is to add tension and create mystery. The audience will respond to the pace of the titles, font and colour and recognise that the genre is horror. I would like to use a unique font to help depict my films genre. I would also like my title to be bold in order for it to stand-out.
