Director Title

This will be the director title for the movie and will be a generic title sequence for each title, this will show continuity for the title sequence and also this will make the movie look much more professional, this is because i am not using outrageous coloring and over the top effects, and then has a subtle look.
Plus i have a slight effect where the writing ghosts into the composition so that it attracts the attention of the viewer.


Vertigo Films is my production company

I researched about my production company and after much research i decided to use Vertigo Films as my production company.

Our Title Intro




Designing my title on after effects cs4

I have obtained pre keyed footage, from a free stock footage website and have used smoke to add an effect to my opening title for the movie, I have used different types of inputs such as text and effects and imported footage, and also lighting that i have implemented into the title.











This might be the final result for our movie opening title, as you can see i have added masks to show red on 3 of the letters, the next stage is to introduce audio into the sequence.

Thriller Titles



  • Simple yet effective title.
  • simple colors black and red
  • Simple picture with not many effects used
  • Many props used such as guns and clothing
  • The mise-en-scene

  • Shows enigma in the picture because there is someone behind him
  • Also someone lying on the floor

Opening Credits

This is where i am going to write about what order the opening credits should be set into:


While there are numerous variations most opening credits use some variation of the basic order[4] noted within:
  • (NAME OF THE STUDIO)
Name of the studio that is distributing the film and may or may not have produced it (Walt Disney Pictures, Columbia, Lions Gate, Universal, Marvel Studios, Dimension, Miramax etc.).
  • (NAME OF THE PRODUCTION COMPANY)
Name of the production company that actually made the film or name of the investment groups or companies that financed a substantial part of the film (usually credited as "in association with" or "A (studio name) production.").
  • (PRODUCER NAME) PRODUCTION or/and (director only) A FILM BY (DIRECTOR NAME)
Director's first credit, often "a film by XY or "a XY film".
  • STARRING
Principal actors, (Sometimes the stars' and director's credits will be reversed, depending on the star's deal with the studio; sometimes, as in the Rodgers and Hammerstein films, or as in all three film versions of Show Boat, or, as in many of Disney's films, the title of the film will be shown before the names of its actors; sometimes, as in many of Cannon's films, the name(s) of the principal actor(s) will be shown before the name(s) of the producer(s), i.e. "The Cannon Group presents X in a Golan-Globus production of a Y film").
  • (FILM'S TITLE)
Name of the film.
  • FEATURING
Featured actors.
  • CASTING or CASTING BY
Casting director.
  • MUSIC or MUSIC COMPOSED BY or ORIGINAL SCORE BY
Composer of music.
  • PRODUCTION DESIGN or PRODUCTION DESIGNER
Production designer.
As a variation some of the below may be noted:
  • SET DESIGN
  • COSTUMES or COSTUMES BY or GOWNS (older movies)
  • HAIRDRESSER
  • MAKE-UP ARTIST
  • SOUND RECORDING (older movies)
  • VISUAL EFFECTS DIRECTOR or VISUAL EFFECTS BY
  • EDITOR or EDITED BY
Editor.
  • DIRECTOR OF PHOTOGRAPHY
Director of photography.
  • PRODUCER or PRODUCED BY, EXECUTIVE PRODUCER
Producers, co-producers, executive producers, 'also produced by' (credited for various reasons according to contracts and personal scrutiny of the principal producer). Often, though, the name of the producer will be the next-to-last opening credit, just before the director's name is shown.
  • BASED ON THE BOOK (PLAY, GRAPHIC NOVEL etc.) BY or FROM A PLAY/BOOK BY (older movies)
If based on a book or other literary work.
  • BASED ON THE CHARACTERS BY or BASED ON THE CHARACTERS CREATED BY
If based on characters from a book or other media.
  • STORY or STORY BY
Person who wrote the story on which the script is based, gets "story by" credit, and the first screenplay credit, unless the script made substantial changes to the story.
  • WRITER(S) or WRITTEN BY
Screenplay writers. The Writers Guild of America allows only three writing credits on a feature film, although teams of two are credited as one, separated on the credits by an ampersand ("X & Y"). If each works independently on the script (the most common system), they are separated by an "and". If more than two persons worked on the screenplay, the credits may read something like "screenplay by X & Y and Z and W" X and Y worked as a team, but Z and W worked separately.[5]
  • DIRECTOR or DIRECTED BY
Director. The Directors Guild of America permits a film to list only one director, even when it is known that two or more worked on it. Except in very rare cases (a death in mid-production) there is only one directing credit
