'A Room for Romeo Brass' : Opening Film Credits

The opening film credits introduce the narrative and genre of the film, it details the main people involved in the making of the film i,e. actors, director and production crew.

The opening film credits introduce the characters who are two good friends and this is obvious through their dialogue. The location is also established and the tone of the film.
The audience are captured through the visuals/audio of the scene. The soundtrack is greatly involved in this as it establishes the tone of the film; elements of comedy because of the upbeat rhythm, however the lyrics are more of a "life lesson": "Stop your messin' around, better think of your future...or else you will wind up in jail". This gives an idea of what themes would arise in the rest of the film.

The setting are local giving a feel of "shooting-on-your-doorstep", especially for british people, this setting will allow them to have more of a connection with the characters and themes.

There are images between the credits which break down the credit sequence, volume goes up when credits are shown and down when the images are shown, when the music ends the credits are finished.



The use of music in representation of the themes in thrillers are a good way of promting the audience of what is to be expected; because it is the first peice of non-diagetic sound heard by the audience it sets a mood for the viewers to become captured in the film.

• This is a strong element to use in my thriller opening scene to determine what will occur.
