Opening Credits: VERY Important To Add

After watching several horror movies, which I do A LOT, I decided to start understanding how I am going to do my opening credits. The opening credits of my film are going to be important since it has everything that a producer uses. There are a few ways that I could open my film. One way that I saw was the opening credits to Halloween.  

This opening has the credits as a separate scene from the start of the movie. The only problem with this is that it would take a lot of time from my actual film opening. In this film opening, it is two straight minutes of credits. This is literally going to be the whole film opening if I do that, so I kept looking. Unfortunately, a pattern I see in horror movies is that they take the first five minutes of their introduction doing credits before starting the movie or not adding any credits at all. Here is a movie credit from the movie Us, which also includes the credit scene before the actual movie. 


So, I continued to search until I found what I wanted. I finally stumbled across what I was looking for.



Although it is not a horror film, this is the idea. To start the movie with these credits when the movie is happening rather than before it starts. Here is the list of credits that I am going to add:

- Writer
- Director
- Producer
- Cinematographer 
- Editor
- Actors
- Music
