Thriller credits

In film, there are two types of credit sequences, opening and closing credit sequences, which are both shown for different purposes. Opening credit sequences are shown at the start of a film, as they consist of the key members, producers/distributors, and the production company associated with a film. On the other hand, closing credit sequences are shown at the end of a film, as they consist of the cast, producers, designers, directors, the writers, the editors, and the other departments of a film. 

In the thriller ‘Unknown’, opening and closing credit sequences are used in the film.

The opening credits of ‘Unknown’ are placed in different places of the screen (at the beginning of the thriller), in big/bold font to catch the audiences’/viewers’ eyes, as they are played over the characters acting. The opening credits of ‘Unknown’ include the production companies involved in the film (such as Warner Bros Pictures, Dark Castle Entertainment, Studio Babelsberg, and Panda Production), the actors/actress’ in the film (such as Liam Neeson, Diane Kruger, January Jones, Aidan Quinn, Bruno Gaz, and Frank Langella), costume designer (Ruth Myers), co-producers (Richard Mirisch, Adam Kuhn, Charlie Woebcken, Christoph Fisser, and Henning Molfenter), editor (Tim Alverson), production designer (Richard Bridgland), director of photography (Flavio Labiano), executive producers (Susan Downey, Steve Richards, Sarah Meyer, and Peter McAleese), producers (Joel Silver, Leonard Goldberg, and Andrew Rona), screenplay (Oliver Butcher and Stephen Cornwell), director (Jaume Collet-Serra), casted by Lucinda Syson, and music played by John Ottman and Alexander.

The closing credits of ‘Unknown’ are placed generally in the middle of the screen (at the ending of the thriller), in small font because there are many different departments involved in a film, in which they are played over a black screen (as a long list). The closing credits of ‘Unknown’ include the actors, chorographers, stunt performers, assistant directors, directors, writers, editors, producers, co-producers, special effects, prop markers, lighting, make-up artists, and many more departments.

The opening credit sequence of ‘Unknown’ is effective because they are in a big and bold font (which catches the audiences’/viewers’ eyes), highlight the important people involved in the film (which vary from the production companies, actors, producers, directors, and many more), they help open the film, and give the film a flow to it.

Similarly, the closing credit sequence of ‘Unknown’ is effective because they highlight everyone single person involved in the film (which vary from the actors, production companies, producers, editors, directors, assistant directors, and many more), and they help end the film.
