Credit Sequences

                                    Credits

        Credits are very important in film because they acknowledge and give recognition to all of the people involved in creating a movie. This often includes director, writers, producers, executive producers, lead actors, supporting actors and so on. Although many people don't pay attention to the credits they are still crucial towards the film.

        The Sandlot is the first film I discovered when looking for a credit sequence. This film wants all of the creators of the movie to be known. Not only does this credit sequence provide the names of who worked on it, it also provides what specific thing they did towards the making of the film. In the credit sequence The Sandlot kept a consistent white color font that contrasted a dark background to ensure the audience could read it. On top of that, the film not only makes the names of the people known by bolding their names, but they also put the credits right in the middle of the screen, meanwhile the font size is pretty large, so it takes up most of the screen. I really like this because the audience is able to focus on the film as well as see all of the people it took to make the film.

        Here Comes The Boom also applies a white font to their credit sequence with a contrasting, dark background. However, the font size isn't nearly as big as The Sandlot's. This film also acknowledges people who worked on this movie, but for some people they didn't mention what their contribution to the movie was. When it started to mention the people's jobs the font was smaller and less profound then their names. When it credited the title scene the last word, Boom, was a different color then the rest which made it pop. Unlike The Sandlot, Here Brings The Boom has its credits towards the bottom, focusing more on what's actually going on in the movie.

        

Happy Gilmore is another sports comedy film that utilizes the white font in their credit sequence. But instead of having it so that the credits are affecting the view of the film, the credits are on next to the video displayed, so that it doesn't distract the audience from missing out on what's being shown. The background that the credits are on remains black throughout the entire sequence. Although the names of the people aren't bolded like Here Comes The Boom and The Sandlot, they are still slightly bigger than the position of what they're being credited to.

    I think I would like to do my credit scene like Here Comes The Boom because it's clean and it focuses more on the visuals rather then the people who made the film which I think is better.
