Movinggg on... After deciding to include an opening credits scene within my film opening, I decide to research openings within my genre and use them for reference and inspiration. Opening credits give a quick homage to the main contributors of a film. After doing research I have decided to included credits for producer, director, writer, cinematographer, editor, major actors, and music. The three movies I have chosen are 13 going on 30, Barbie, and Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (1971).
13 Going on 30: The opening credits scene begins with a blue background and pink glitter letters alluding to the magic glitter that transports the characters later. One of my favorite parts of the opening credits sequence was when when the blue background transitioned into back drop of the first day pictures this also sets the setting and time of the movie.
Barbie: This opening credits sequence was my favorite due to it's bright and engaging colors as well as its on theme fonts! The fact that there was a story being told through song that was playing during the credits made it entertaining and fun to watch. I also thought it was nice they mentioned the casting director, costume designer, special effects designer, ext in the opening credits.
Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (1971): One thing I found interesting about this credits opening is how it mentioned the title of the film before listing any people, which is something different than the others. The credits follow the making of the chocolate which is interesting and transports the viewer into the world of the Chocolate Factory.
