One of a film opening's most important detail is to include the title and the credits, so I did some research to find out the best way to incorporate this into my production. The purpose of the opening credits are to acknowledge the work that everyone has put into the film; however, only major roles like the director and lead actors are shown in the opening sequence.

A big part of the credits and title is the font and the size of the text. Using legible fonts are the most ideal, but it's also more eye-catching if the font relates to the film's theme in one way or another. For example, in a horror film, a scarier font might be chosen to set the mood from the beginning of the film (example on picture #1). To make the text legible, contrast must also be included. This makes sure that the text isn't blending into the background, making it hard to read. I think another important factor on credits is the timing, each credit should be shown on screen for the equal amount of time. The placement should also vary, but it should ideally stick to the sides of the screen.
