So after adding in some final touches like adjusting the music so that it stops and starts in the right places, we have finally finished our film and will be putting it onto DVD on Monday's lesson ready for our presentation on Thursday. We watched through it a number of times in order to make sure that there was nothing else that needed changing and realised that we had forgotten to justify the way in which we had designed our credits.

We decided to have our credits appearing throughout the scenes however we felt that it was essential to have the important credits placed on a black background, some of which we already allocated for when filming, for example when the fridge closes. We placed the production name, the film title, the co producer, the editor, the producer and the director on black backgrounds. We also decided to have a slightly different colour scheme for the actors, me and Charlotte who star in our film. We decided to use black and white to make our names stand out however this was the only time we changed the font, all the other fonts are the same. We did this so that our film opening looks professional like a real high budget film would look. We have also made a concsious decision to remove the freezeframes on the clips as we felt that they disrupted the flow of our film and it just generally looked a lot more professional for the credits to appear while the acting takes place.

 

I liked how at this point it looks as though Kate is brushing the credit away.

Here is one of credits which appears throughout the opening along with credits such as costume, soundtrack, casting etc.

This is the last credit that we see, as in all films the director generally goes last. It is on a black back ground so that it is clear and easy to read. It again highlights the importance of it.
