I want to go over how I plan on formatting and the order of my credits as well as when I will put my title. I want to first establish my title for my film since I do not remember if I already stated one on here, so from this post on this is the official title for my opening. Drum roll please!... The title is going to be... Clueless!
I know this post is about the credit placement, however I want to elaborate on why I chose the title clueless. I want the title to be pretty straight forward to how Lucas feels since I want the piece to represent how he feels inside. I think the title would be a good contrast to how the opening begins, since he will be happy around his friends in sunny lighting that will cause the audience to feel good and happy. I also like how it's just a simple title for such complex emotions since he is trying to figure it out and how he feels can be simplified into one word.
Anyway I wanted the credits to play in the beginning while a song is playing in the background. I plan on having them placed in the lower corners of the screen while a car is shown pulling up to a house and Lucas and his friends get out and walk in. I want the credits to just be white with a typical comic sans font so it can be seen like it was made by a teenager writing the credits. I think it's a nice way to introduce Lucas and his friends with a friendly way of showing the credits.
For the title placement I want it to come right after the credits end. The credits will end when Lucas' friends walk out the door and the scene transitions to night. So what will happen is his friends will walk out, the door will close behind them, the title will show up, then disappear when the scene transitions to night time. I kinda like how the title will transition the credits sequence to the actual opening of the film rather than just behave as the ending of the opening. I feel like this approach also makes the opening really feel like an opening since I can easily continue with the film shortly after the opening is "over" to make the project really seem like a film opening rather than just a school project.
Here is some references to what I want my credit sequence to be like:
