I will be analysing the credits used in the 2013 thriller film The Call. A title sequence
is the way a film presents their title, Production Company, cast members and main
production members. There may or may not be accompanying music. They are now
usually shown as text on a blank screen or static pictures, or sometimes on top of
action in the sequence.
There is an opening shot of the title
sequence from which the audience are able
to identify the distribution company TriStar
who contributed towards the films financing
and the method by which the film should be
exhibited or made available for viewing.
This is the first company that is shown
which suggests to the audience its very
significant compared to the other production
companies as it may have had a bigger role to play.
The next shots are of WWE Studios and Troika Pictures which are the 2
companies that produced the film. These are the 2 companies that have created the
film with relation to budgeting, scheduling, casting etc.
This is followed by a shot which reminds the audience of the two production
companies again, along with Amasia Entertainment that the audience havent been
shown yet.

The following shots after the films title show the rest of the cast members name.
These are the names of the characters who play the supporting roles alongside the
main actor Halle Berry. Because they are the first 2 names shown for the supporting
actors it suggests they still play fairly significant roles compared to the others.

This shot shows
the audience who was responsible for the
sound design in the film. This is an
important role as good sound design can
make a decent film phenomonal.

This shows the audience who the co-executive and executive producers for the film
are. As Allen Church and Dale Rosenblooms names are written above the 2 other
executive producers it suggests these 2 have more authority over the others. The coexecutive producers role is to work alongside the executive producers and producers
to guarantee the film is produced succesfully and manage time-keeping.
