Knowing

I watched the film Knowing starring Nicolas Cage and I thought that the opening credits were really effective. This is because they started as numbers and formed into peoples names and the title. The title also faded away with the clouds which was really good. The significance of the numbers is that there are dates of major events and this is why they have done the credits like this. There were certain sounds that were emphasised to make the audience jump which was effective because I wasn't expecting it.

Vacancy

I really like the opening credits to this film I think they are really effective and the way the line of some of the letters move down, it looks like blood is dripping which introduces the genre. We wanted to do our credits similar to this but we could not find the right font. The music also begins straight away when the production name appears so we could do our film like this or we could just leave the production name silent.

Gothika

This opening is quite simple because the credits are on a black background and they zoom away. The name of the actor just appears on its own so we could still do ours like that but the majority of films do say something before the name. Then the opening begins with an interview and after a minute or so, more names appear of directors and editors and so on.
