Titles (thriller examples)


After the IDENT use a FADE IN. 
The titles should then be in the following order:
(1) 'Your Production Company' Presents
(2) A Film by 'One name - usually the director'
(3) Starring or With
(4) Male star
(5) Female star or other way round
(6) Title of film - or could be at the end
(7) Also starring - 2/3/names - each on seperate title
(8) Then 3/4/5 of the following - you choose - each on seperate title
Editing
Music
Cinematography or Director of Photography
Casting
Set Designer
Costume Designer
Script
(9) Then Producer(s) - can be more than one
(10) Always finish with Director - one name, usually the same as A Film By ...
(11) Could put title here
Remember to use LiveType and try to make titles interesting. They can be either over black or superimposed over your film. Space them out over the two minutes of the film.Give the audience plenty of time to read the titles. 
(12) Finish with a fade out & fade music out


Seven Trailer
At the beginning of the trailer the production company was shown so it indicates to the audience where the movie has come from and if it is a universal ident or an independent ident. The red writing corresponds with the red cross shown in the thriller. Rather than the title being written in words it was written in numbers which gave a visual effect because we remember the word 'Seven' more. The associations with red could be the devil, blood, danger or hell so it gives a sinister effect. The words are jaggedy and the uneasy text shows us the thriller will not be peaceful so the words give a good insight to the movie.
