We analysed Juno's title sequence as one of our inspirations for credits. We loosely based our order on this because it is a coming of age film, and therefore genre appropriate.

3. A JASON REITMAN FILM
4. JUNO
5. ELLEN PAGE
6. MICHAEL CERA
7. JENNIFER GARDER
8. JASON BATEMAN
9. ALISON JANNEY
10. JK SIMMONS
11. OLIVIA THIRLBY
12. CASTING BY MINDY MARIN, C.S.A KARA LIPSON
13. COSTUME DESIGNER MONIQUE PRUDHOMME
14. MUSIC BY MATEO MESSINA. SONGS BY KIMYA DAWSON
15. MUSIC SUPERVISORS PETER AFTERMAN AND MARGARET YEN
16.CO-PRODUCERS JIM MILLER, KELLI KONOP, BRAD VAN ARRAGON

21. PRODUCED BY LIANNA HALFON, JOHN MALKOVICH, MASON NOVICK, RUSSELL SMITH
22.WRITTEN BY DIABLO CODY
23. DIRECTED BY JASON REITMAN

  • From this title sequence, we took the idea of putting the titles in capitals. This makes the titles clear and bold to the audience, yet also blending in with the genre. However, whereas Juno features extremely bold and colourful titles, our more menacing comedy element made this less suiting - so we concluded to use simple white titles.
  • Also in this title sequence, title transitions are included. We decided to take on board this idea, yet we decided to keep the effect constant rather than varying the effects for each title. We thought this suited our opening sequence better, as we wanted the audience to not solely focus on the titles, but also the action in the opening.
  • Like Juno, the distribution and production companies were our first credits: 'Momentum Pictures Present' and 'An X Production Film'. We thought this was deeply important to ensuring that we followed title conventions and also drew association with other films from Momentum Pictures e.g. Four Lions.
  • In this title sequence, there are co-producers. We adopted this idea for one of our titles.
