research post
For this research post I looked at another student’s blog about credit scenes and how they planned theirs. I still don't have a sold idea about what me and my group will do with the credit scenes but hopefully researching there can help. Their idea was putting the credits on random things inside a car which I thought was kind of smart and unique because it doesn’t pull your eyes away. Before they did it they looked at a couple movies to see how credits can match the vibe of a film, so I went through their blog to see what they were talking about.
One movie they used was Fahrenheit 451 (1966). The credits aren’t even on the screen; they just say them out loud. It sounds weird but they say it fits the no reading allowed thing in the movie. So even the audience isn’t reading. It shows how credits can be part of the world instead of just names. I liked that it was interesting.
They also talked about Raging Bull (1980). The credits are super plain, just white text, but the shot behind it is what makes it good. It’s the boxer warming up alone and the lighting makes him look kinda trapped. The blog explained that it doesn't distract them from the shot and that the shot sets the whole mood. It made sense when I read it.

After reading their blog I get what they were trying to do. They want their credits to feel natural like Raging Bull but also kind creative like Fahrenheit 451. Putting the credits on trash and objects in the car actually fits. It doesn’t feel random after seeing the examples they used.
reflection
Overall, this helped me see how other students think about credit scenes and how the opening titles can change the whole vibe of a film. It also connects to my own project since I want my credits to match the mystery tone and not feel out of place or boring the goal for me is to build suspense keep it so you can build on the opening and last make it fun and creative.
