Titles and Credits Research

Titles & Credits




























Shows how much variety there is!

We have decided to look at the opening credits of two Guy Ritchie films and base ours arounbd this style, but from this general research, I am more aware of how the credits need to be relatged to the music, and if we want to make them a dramatic part of the sequence, we need to plan for this.

Logos and indents

·         Legendary Pictures - Has a gold pattern, the pattern is at first filling the screen then the image moves out as the pattern lights up. It has music as the logo is being shown and it ends with the pattern and the name ‘Legendary Pictures’. The background is dark and smoky. It lasts for around 15 seconds. 

·         Warner Brothers – Has the same logo every time, a WB with a band saying ‘Warner Bros. Pictures’ in front of it. Its usual colour is yellow with blue sky and clouds as its background. But for different films for example ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ the logo is silver and the image pulls outwards to reveal the logo the background is dark and stormy and the logo is slightly tilted. Depending on the film the logo tends to fit with its theme. It lasts around 15 seconds.

 

·         Universal Pictures – Starts with a sunrise or gold band across black screen. Then starts to build up the world in colour as it spins and gradually fills the world in, it is illuminated by gold light and ‘Universal’ follows round with one spin of the completed earth. Last for around 22 seconds.
