Film Credits

At first, we inserted clips of falling confetti and placed the credits over the shots as planned and  shown in our Lana Del Rey inspired video moodboard.  However after inserting the clips into our film which is nearly completely edited Pip and I felt that the credit sequence wasn't that effective and broke up the church scene, therefore reducing the tension of the scene.  I then had the idea to use still black and white screens to present the credits which was a technique adopted by most films in the 1920s and 30s.  Here are some examples:

Inspired by these credits I created two credit screens which will be placed at the beginning of our film   similar to films in the 20s such as 'The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari' as shown above.  I downloaded many different fonts from websites such as dafont.com and fontspace.com which I felt were reminiscent of the era and then using PowerPoint I experimented with the different fonts, colours and backgrounds to finally achieve what I feel is an effective and authentic interpretation of an old fashioned credit screen.

Once inserted into the film opening we shall experiment with filters to make the screens look older and more authentic.
