sherlock holmes, closing credits.
Sherlocks Holmes,directed by Guy Ritchie starring Robert Downey Jr and Jude Law, released in 2009. Also has an interested set of credits though these appear at the end of the film, the closing credits. the credits take shots from various points in the film and freeze frame them, we then see lines thrown across them and an inky effect which makes them look like drawn sketches a subtle gesture toward the well known books which are written by the narrative of holmes dear friend Watson, this is also exentuated by the titles themselves which are written as though by elaborate hand writing. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is mentioned in the credits as he was the author of the books, this is to strenghten the connection between Guy Ritchies film and the much loved books of Sherlock holmes. As with other films important actors/actresses and crew members are mentioned in the credits. To make the drawings resemble being hand drawn even more the pages they are written on have ink blots scattered across them.The music is played by string instruments which brings the readers attention slightly toward that Holmes plays a violin when he is thinking.
details of the juno opening credits
The opening credits of director Jason Reitman's, juno are a mix of film and animation, giving it a cartoony childish feeling. This childish element is created via the use of aspects such bright colours and the subtly immature choice of sunny delight as a drink.During the opening credits we are introduced to some other factors related to the film such as guitars and bicyles which appear later. the song "All I want is you" by Barry Louis Polisar plays over the action of juno herself walking, this implies that the theme is going have part of romance within it. The song is upbeat which adds to the childish manor in which juno walks,e.g putting her arms out to balance of bits of the pavement. the before mentioned use of bright colours is more noticable to the viewer as surrounding the coloured areas is blank, white, again supporting the childish element to the opening, as the viewer may relate this to a childs colouring book. the childish nature of the opening credits connotes the character of juno may be immature. The names of key actors, actresses and crew members along with producers appear in block coloured letters, which again stand out to the viewer as the screen is largely scarce of colour.
