2 of 7

Titles are small, lower case, white and normally feature in the bottom left of the screen.

The titles are barely noticeable in the frame and yet they are legible. They fade in, wipe out and leave a pattern of letters that resemble code before finally fading out completely which hints that the film could have a connection to something needing to be decoded at some point.

Get out (2017)

The titles are in a blue font which fades in and out and specifically in the middle of the shot. At the start its a specific location that shows all the production companies. It’s then another location where all the actors are there. The titles are in a small font that appears as the shots continue on.

The order in which the titles come in; distributor, production company, producer, director, title of the film, Actors name, Music producers, casting director, costume designer, production designer, director of photography, co-producers

Gone Girl

The titles are all in white and typically appearing in the bottom half of the screen other than the main titles and the main actors/actresses whose names are in the centre of the screen.�The titles all fade out quite quickly after they appear.

The general background images shown in the opening scene are dark and so the titles are easily visible but not necessarily easy to spot straight away due to their placement.

The titles are all in white but in an odd font and not in straight lines.�The titles all fade out quite quickly after they appear, and also glitch a bit.

The general background images shown in the opening scene are dark and so the titles are easily visible, as the background videos show precise work on making a book, or potentially forgery.
