Task 7 - What conclusions can I make about the titles used in title sequences?

Gone Girl (2012)

The order we see the title credits in;

• Producer
• Actors
• Film title
• Casters
• Sound design
• Music by
• Costume designer
• Film editor
• Production designer
• Director of photography
• Executive producers
• Producers
• Based on the novel of...
• Screen play
• Directors
• Date

What I can conclude about this title opening is that title credits are organised deliberately. Its in the order of importance - producers first, actors second, sound designers and so and so.  The title credits here are mostly divided proportionally meaning that each of them are aired the exact same duration. However, the actors, producers and the title all have more time. This is because of recognition. They want to be more visually appealed and want to be concentrated into it, giving them more credit. I can also add that this title sequence uses titles on a black screen. The main characters and producer are in the font white with a black background. This makes them look bolder and makes them stand out more. The typography is pretty basic; Arial white. It was used in service of the movie. (Kyle Cooper belief) It helps integrate the content and title credits. The idea that it it white signifies purity and innocence as mentioned before and it creates a flow to the movie- consistency.
