Order titles/credits

Superbad:
















The opening credits start with the production companies, Columbia Pictures and Apatow. This is quickly followed by the title of the film 'Superbad'. This occurs before the names of the actors and actresses, unlike the Skyfall opening. Jonah Hill and Michael Cera are the first names to appear, as they play the two main characters in the film. The other actors such as Seth Rogan and Bill Hader, then follow as they play less important roles, than Jonah Hill and Michael Cera. At the end of the names of actors and actresses, Christopher Mintz-Plasse is introduced, as he is making his film debut. Casting, Costume Designer, Co-producer and Music then follow. More behind the scenes staff follow, such as the Editor, Production-designer, Director of Photography, Executive Producers and Producers. Last of all, the writers and directors are introduced; this is also done in Skyfall.  The text also signifies the genre, as the yellow font has connotations of happiness and fun; depicting the genre as comedy. The colour of the font changes throughout, as to stand-out against the ever changing colour of the background. The size, though, is consistent throughout, apart from the title of the film. They are also fairly frequent. The graphics are entertaining, and create humour; depicting the genre as comedy. The meaning of each title is to create fun and entertain the audience. The audience's attention is grabbed through the colours and graphics of the titles. The audience should find this humorous, as the genre is comedy. I would like to use the pace of the titles, and the idea of changing colours to keep the audience's attention, and convey genre. Also it will enable us to give a persona to our film, and to our characters, if we use different colour fonts.
