Before adding the credits: In addition to the title, I need to include the opening credits in our opening sequence. Hannah and I decided that the credits will start to appear right as the film starts, and the title won’t appear till after the opening sequence. I decided that keeping the font of the credits white would work best to keep it looking minimal and keep to the theme.
A list of credits I need to include are:
- A New Line Cinema Film
- Story By: Hannah Sutton & Hannah Boltin
- Music By: ESN Productions
- Starring: Hannah Boltin
- Edited By: Hannah Boltin
- Cinematography By: Hannah Sutton
- Sound By: Hannah Sutton
- Written By: Hannah Sutton & Hannah Boltin
After adding the credits: Adding the credits was a pretty easy task. I chose iMovie’s “Standard Lower Third” title for most of the credits, and I alternated whether they appeared in the lower left or right of the screen. I used the font “Avenir Heavy” which is a nice bold font but not too crazy or distracting. I kept the titles at size 58 font and a 4.5 second duration each so they are easy to read but don’t distract from the film itself. I’m happy with how they turned out, and if I end up needing to add a couple more in then I always can.
Here’s a quick screen-recording of me creating a credit title:
