Analysis of a credit sequence

The credit sequence usually follows the action of the film to conclude the film and to literally credit the cast and crew who made and performed in the film. The title sequence on the other hand opens the film and introduces the cast names, often the director and film company (the conglomerate company and/or the independent companies that produced the film) and the films title. The credit sequence plays over an upbeat, memorable, catchy song that the audience will remember and feel good about the film they've watched and feel like they have enjoyed every minute, this is also used to emphasise the film ending on a happy ending. The credit sequence can either begin with the main characters and then work down towards the more minor ones, or will begin in order of appearance. After the acting cast have been credited, the cast of the production team then follows, the credit sequence then ends with the film company and most often its logo. If the film company has horizontally integrated with a larger company then the conglomerate company is credited and thanked for its help and aid in the production. When analysing the credit sequence from this romantic comedy short film, "Love Sick", the title is the first image on the credit sequence and is in a big, bold font and is brightly colour in order to be clear to the audience and tov capture their attention. The director then follows (despite the usual order of cast coming first) along with the producer, assistant director, etc. Moreover the film has a "special thanks" in the credits for "Pepper's Pitas" which is possibly a company that helped them produce, budget and distribute their film. The credit sequence is placed over what appears to be an American city which links to the setting of the film as well as the music continuing to be happy and upbeat. All cast and crew names and in a big, bold font so that they are eye-catching to the audience allowing the audience to be more likely to remember the names in case they liked the actors performances and wanted to watch them in something else. The credit sequence is relatively short due to their not being as big of a cast and crew in a short film however it still effectively and easily thanks and mentions those responsible for producing the film and advertises them in case audiences enjoyed their performance and wished to see more of their work thus widening their audience.
