FILM TRAILER CREDITS

While Ella and I were watching the trailer for ‘Blue is The Warmest Colour’, checking for things we forgot to include in our film trailer, we missed this key convention of film trailers: the Credits. We then screen shot it so that we could look through what the credits actually consisted of to ensure we included the correct information in our own.

I want to include on my film poster the fact that my film ‘Loving You’ is a Sundance Selected film, much like ‘Blue is The Warmest Colour’ and ‘First Girl I Loved’ which will increase the films credibility and make my audience more inclined to watch it seeing as it has professional approval.

The credits have to include the films age certificate.

In ‘Blue is The Warmest Colour’s credits, the films title is bold.

The films main characters are also credited before the films title.

The rest of the people who worked on the film are credited, e.g Director. I will be using ‘Blue is The Warmest Colour’s credits as a template for my own.

I took the screenshot that Ella and I took from ‘Blue is The Warmest Colour’s trailer and began to edit it on the editing app PicsArt on my phone. I cut out elements of the credits that were specific to the film, for example its title, what the film was inspired by and the films screenplay writers.

I then began personalising the credits to my own film in order to get an accurate idea of what my credits should look like.

I removed the production company and replaced it with my own so that I could see where the company is placed in the credits.

I included Ella and I’s names next to screenplay writers as we both created the storyline.

I also changed the fact that the credits said that the film was inspired by the films comic book, as my film ‘Loving You’ is inspired by true events, as stated in the film trailer.

‘Loving You’s Credits

■ After analysing what traditional film trailer credits include, I created my own using PicsArt. This will then act as my own template for film poster as I can either copy the text onto the trailer or removes the images black background and drop the text over the top.

■ However, one thing I did forget to include in my credits is the age certificate, however, I will have to add that retrospectively when I'm putting the credits onto my poster etc.
