Planning: Credits

 A detail within this opening that I've felt extremely confident with has been the credits. While they are not done, they've been interesting to look at. With our credits we have two things, firstly the opening credits, a small sequence demonstrating each role in the production except for a certain few. With it is a small sequence that we engineered to be the opposite of the first few seconds of Whiplash, similar to our story in a way. While Whiplash involves musicians who are skilled but willing to be tortured to succeed, ours involves terrible musicians who think they can cheat their way to success with little effort. With our credits we've chosen an inverse set of colors, instead of white on black, we are using black on white. We also plan to use messy fonts to make it feel much less organized, once again an inverse of Whiplash. While Whiplash uses said opening to exclusively introduce its title, we will do almost everything else, and present the title in the very next frame. The background of jus drumming in Whiplash is instead a complete mess of instruments with zero collaboration. It is fully intended to be messy and clunky in a way that resembles the story at the center of our film. The one thing we will not introduce within those credits are the castings. Within the first closeups of each character, we'll have their casting EXCEPT for the frontman, who's credit will be when he gets beat up. The goal is to capture the characters when they showcase their personality the most. Overall, the credits have a very simple plan but I'm extremely happy with how it fits into our opening.
