Mapping of Opening Credits analysis

 Mapping of Opening Credits

I decided to map 3 films of the action/drama/thriller genre. I decided to map the films.....
  • Suicide Squad 2016
  • Southpaw 2015
  • Spectre 2015
From doing this I have learnt several things about film openings. Firstly, films with a more action/adventure theme have much less credit tittles. For example, Suicide Squad only had a total of 4 tittle credits. this could also be because its a big film that everyone knew about as it was produced by the institution DC.

Films that fit more into the drama genre tend to have more credit tittles. For example,  Southpaw had 32 credit tittles and Spectre had 34. This might be because the job roles are different or less well known then if it was from a large company like DC or Marvel. This means that more key job roles will be there so more credit tittles will be needed.

I have also seen that the first 3-5 credits are about the institution. Then you get the tittle of the film. after that the next 8-10 credits are about the key actors. Then the remaining tittle credits are for producers, designers and other job roles.

 Because of this information, I have decided that on average Drama films have about 33 text Tittles. I have also decided that our opening scene will have a range of 28-36 credit tittles. This is because we will make our film like a big institution and as most drama/action films have lots of tittle credits.
