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.
