Planning opening credits

Planning opening credits for my thriller

Credits are very important to film under the thriller genre this is for a mixture of various reasons. Credits introduce the audience to the film that they will be watching by engaging and drawing there attention to the centre of the screen. Credits also clarify to the audience the genre of the film they will be watching. They then go onto to show the audience the actors/actresses , production company and the director.

There are only two main colours used in the opening credits of Hannibal. At the very start the word "Hannibal" is the colour red or the colour of blood straight away after the audience see this they can confirm the genre of the film as the colour is the symbol of blood and blood is used widely across the thriller genre.

Again the other colours used in traditional thrillers are the colours black and white which again contrasts between the good and the bad. There are two different styles of credits at first the writing of Hannibal is a conventional style which is a lot like handwritten text. Meanwhile the style of the rest of the text is big and bold so it stands out to the audience but is slightly unconventional to the thriller genre. Thriller conventions used are the colour red for blood, jump cuts between the random CCTV footage of bird and various buildings, sinister sounds through the changes on screen to make the audience feel vulnerable and close up although this may not be apparent at first the formation of the birds on the floor create the face of the main character, Dr. Lecter played by Anthony Hopkins.
