Credits Research for Thriller Sequence
We looked into different title sequences to research ideas for our own sequence, specifically on our credits, and gain a selection of ideas in which we could look at. Our main theme of our thriller was a psychological thriller and during my research I found a few opening credits to link to it:
The Black Swan (2010)
The thriller Black Swan starring Natalie Portman, is a good model to base our credit order on.
Firstly the film presents its production company and then the title comes next. The film then continues into a sequence of ballet; which the film revolves around. I like this idea of putting the title of the film before anything else. Black Swan does not present the starring actors or members of the production at the beginning of the film. Perhaps this was a choice made to prevent the audience being distracted from the beauty of the camerawork on the ballet. This works well with our thriller because we can use the beauty of the gymnastics in place of the ballet. However I feel for our film we should have the starring gymnast credited, along with the director and editors. Our sequence does not immediately start with gymnastic elements therefore we have time at the beginning to credit the members of the production without the aesthetic gymnastics being distracted.
