Credit/ Title Sequence Analysis - Man of Steel


This title sequence is very well matched to the opening. The titles appear in a basic, straight, medium sized font. They start off by showing who distributed the movie, then they show the Production Company and then after that the name of the Director so that we know straight away who made the movie. After that the names of the main actors who star in the movie appear an then the roles of the people who contributed in creating the costumes, visual effects supervisor, music, co-producer, editor, production designer, designer of photography, who written the screenplay and other important roles. The titles are very simple but go very well with the opening as they show up slowly. From the very beginning the credits are showed on a dark sky with something falling down that looks like a meteor but is intact the main character, but then we see that this was a video that someone is watching and from that we quickly change the location to a worm eye view of the place where the movie is possibly filmed in. Then finally we come to a house where we can see trophies and a photo of a young boy assuming that he is the main character or someone as important. All titles are in white block capitals and written in a bigger font than the conjunction words such as 'and'. The credits do not suggest what genre the film might be in. The credits are not in a completely the right order  because normally the main casts are shown last and the Executive Producer should be shown after the Main Producer.

Usually the order of the credits appearing on the screen is:

  • Director
  • Screenwriter 
  • Producer
  • Executive Producer
  • Director of Photography
  • Production Designer 
  • Film Editor
  • Composer 
  • Costume Designer
  • Visual Effects Supervisor
  • Casting Director
  • Main Casts
