Research on opening credits






As 28 Days Later (2002, directed by Danny Boyle) is a film similar to our plot, we decided to research how they did the opening credits for the film. Click on the link to see the opening sequence for 28 Days Later:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NwUI7IJqNwo






The film company Fox Searchlight Pictures made 28 Days Later and would be ideal to be the company behind ours, as they work with British independent films, such as our one.










Here is a picture of how they showed the credit for Fox Searchlight Pictures. The main colours are red, black and white with a plain font for the company name, and a red, almost blood splattered font for "presents". This suggests that the film is a horror-thriller which is similar to ours.





For the actor and actress's names, they have used a bold white font which have moved into the screen from the side and then faded out.



The title has been shown in a large white font which fades in and out with a blood effect flowing into the letter, creating a more gruesome and eerie effect, and it hints the genre and plot of the film.
