Conclusion Part 2A look at the similarities in the opening credits of my

deconstructions(Excluding The Haunting, as this has no credits in the

opening 2 minutes.)

The first thing we can notice from the opening sequence is that none of the main actors are

mentioned first in the opening credits. In both Saw 1 and Misery, the production company is

the first thing to be credited, and in The Shining it is the director.

Saw 1

The Shining

Misery

After mentioning the production company first, both Saw and Misery credit the

directors. The fonts are continuous; the same as with the production company.

Both of the styles of writing are also quite similar, as they are both in capitals and take up almost the same amount of the

screen.

Saw 1 Misery

The only one of my deconstructions that even mentions actors in the opening 2

minutes is The Shining, but like Saw 1 and Misery, it maintains the exact same font.

The Shining and Saw 1 are the only films that I deconstructed to mention the title within the opening 2 minutes. The Shining mentions the main actors, then states the title of the film before continuing to name other actors that feature in the film. And Saw states the title after a fading out from a main scene.

The films all keep the same fonts and sizes for everything they mention in the opening title sequence. The transitions in Misery and Saw 1 are similar, as the credits are separate to the main scene, but The Shining blends the credits in with the scene.The Production company/directors are mentioned before any of the actors.
