Planning For Final Film: Opening Credits

For our opening credits we have decided to base them on the opening credits shown in the film 'Drive'. Drive is a 2011 American neo-noir arthouse crime thriller film, directed by Nicolas Winding Refn, starring Ryan Gosling, Carey Mulligan, Bryan Cranston, Oscar Issac and Albert Brooks. Drive is about an unnamed Hollywood stunt performer who moonlights as a getaway driver.

The opening credits for our film may be seen as being random, disjointed and 'all over the place' but we wanted it to reflect a similar order of the credits shown in 'Drive' because this film covered and portrayed similar themes that are apparent throughout our film and we also felt that the order of the credits shown in 'Drive' was different, authentic, original and not conventional, thus helping to reflect the themes shown throughout our film. The order of our credits was intentional, even though it may not appear that way.

Although we have had a lot of inspiration and direction from the opening scene of 'Drive', there are some differences in our order of the credits compared to theirs. For example, we have decided to have the title of our film at the very end of our opening credits, we did this to help create suspense for the audience as more and more is revealed about the situation of the protagonist.
