Planning of Titles

By Will Smith

CreditsFor my credits I will be using a freeze frame for

each of my characters and then posterizing them. I have chosen to do this because I took

inspiration from the film Snatch. During snatch it introduces 11 characters which is to many in my opinion because it can make the audience feel overwhelmed with to many characters. That’s

why I’m trying to use a maximum of 5 characters. Most of the credits in snatch use a bold white

font, line above or below there names and with stars on one side or both sides. The stars could

imply there importance within the film so I might use this only for my protagonist and antagonist. The credits also have no background, they just

use block colours and then posterize the characters. Also the colours used are all very

similar in the way that they are all dark but quite natural colours since most of them are types of green. This is something that I would like to use

in my opening scene. I will also be taking inspiration from rock‘n’Rolla since it also using

posterization for its credits. To help me decide what type of font I will use I will do some experimenting with

them.

To try and help me choose which one of these I want to use I am going to try and make my credits to see which one is the most successful.

Final Credit

I will use the lines and the stars to represent

the characters importance within the film so it can help the audience to establish

who are the characters which the film will be

focussed on.

I chose to do my credits in white because snatch, Layercake and Lock, Stock And Two Smoking

Barrels all have there credits in white. It will stand out a lot more

because of the posterized background as well.

I’m using Capitol letters because it makes more of an

impact on the audience.

This is not a real credit, I only used the word gangster as an example of

what my final credit will look

like.
