TITLES

- T I T L E S - 

Titles are forms of text shown either at the beginning or the end of the film, crediting that of the people or groups involved in the process of the creation of the piece. In order, these include:

--> Money 

--> Production 

--> Directors name film 

--> Main star 

--> Film title 

--> Actor 1 – (end of main section) 

--> Actor 2 

--> Actor 3 

--> Actor 4 

--> Actor 5 

--> Casting 

--> Costume designer 

--> Music 

--> Edited 

--> Production designer 

--> Director of Photography (DOP) 

--> Executive Producer 

--> Produced by 

--> Based upon 

--> Screen play (writer) 

--> Director  

Titles also enable the audience to have a greater understanding of that of the tone, location, time and genre of the narrative, as well as serve as a hint as to what will happen in the film.

An example of this would be in the Netflix series, Narcos; the font of the credits are rather neat and minimalistic, juxtaposing that of the more sombre scenes being presented crafting an unsettling atmosphere. This prepares the audience for the more mature tone of the narrative.

Another example of this in film, rather, would be in Skyfall's highly stylised opening; it captures the essence of the James Bond franchise, which is action, sex and masculinity through the graphics and soundtrack.
