Credit Sequences in Spy Films

 Hey I’m back! 

This time around I’m looking into credit sequences specifically rather than these film openings. Obviously we’re back looking into spy films exclusively.

Mission: Impossible Credit Sequence

This opening title sequence shows a short montage or different clips of what’s coming in the movie while simultaneously displaying the credits with the staple font of Mission: Impossible. I like this idea of showing smaller clips of what the movie entails while rolling the credits but I feel as if it’s a little disruptive and takes up time from the film to just roll it’s own credit sequences as if it’s a TV show intro. I feel that with the shorter time frame I have I’m going to work to include the credits into the opening, I want to look into different fonts and see if I can make my own staple font.

From Russia With Love Credit Sequence

This credit sequence showed a montage of a female moving with projecting the credits onto her body. I personally think this was an incredibly artistic choice by the director. I don’t exactly like this sequence either as I feel it interrupts from the movie and the time. As I said before I like when the movie begins and the credits are just a part of it. I do really like the special effect of the projection onto the body I find that it entranced me into the credits.

Bourne Ultimatum Credit Sequence

In this credit sequence it’s quite simplistic. It’s also at the end of the movie instead of the beginning which obviously is necessary for a film but what I liked to focus on in this credit sequence specifically is the font. I think one of the biggest parts of credits in these kinds of action films is the choice of font, spy films have a multitude of smaller texts throughout showing locations or times, and a multitude of these films have a specific font that now belongs to them. I want that kind of font and I feel that this sequence really shows how a font can add to the overall visual affect of the movie.
