Research on Credits:
The credits in a trailer is important for the audience to be aware of the main people who were involved in producing the movie trailer in any way. The layout for most film credits are at the end of a trailer are similar, and the titles of the job is written in smaller size text, and the names have a bigger size font to stand out.
The distribution company names and exhibition company are also included in the credits, in some ways to promote the company too.
The screenshots above are from horror movies, such as, Eden lake and House of willow. I choose to look at trailer with the same theme as my trailer to get ideas on how to present my credits. I particularly picked out these credits because I liked the way the text was spread in the centre on the page, rather then looking like a list. Another common convention of the credits is that the text if placed onto a black background, with the text being a lighter colour, usually white, in order for the text to stand out to the viewers.
Underneath the text, there are several promotional logo's of the companies who have worked with the film producers, and these logo's are placed to make the logo of the company become more recognisable to the audience. It also makes the movie trailer look more professional. After looking into these common conventions I created my own credits using Sketch. I downloaded a legal font from 'Dafont' website called steel fish as it fitted in perfectly with the type of common font used for credits.
