Hello, reader. Welcome to my blog. In this post, I'll be planning the diegetic credits for our opening scene.
First,
What are diegetic credits?
Diegetic credits in films are credits that physically appear within the film's world, as if the characters could see them. Credits commonly appear as text on the screen, which is why diegetic credits are so creative.
Where did this idea come from?
My team and I discussed ways to make our opening film more creative in class. For example, small details that look well thought out. With diegetic credits, we save time that can be better used in post-production.
Our idea:
Opening sequence of our film opening.

One of the scenes specifically shows the bookshelves and some books. We want to include the credits on the spines of some of the books. So I started by making a simple design in Canva.
Example of credits
But then I realized I didn't remember ever seeing "cinematograph" in movie credits. So I watched some movie openings and copied the names from the credits to make it look cooler.
Final example of credits:
Then I printed them, cut them out, and taped them to the books at home. I used tape so as not to damage them (we'll do the same with the library books). These are the test credits.

Thoughts:
When we start recording, I'll make them more elaborate. For example, I'll follow the themes and colors of the books so it doesn't look forced or rushed. To get the exact color, I can search for the book online and use the color picker tool in IbisPaintX to copy the exact color, or take a photo in good lighting and do the same. I also plan to use double ink so the light reflection isn't visible on the film and different fonts to give it a more stylized look.
Takeaways:
The small details, especially in the mise-en-scène, are also important since they add to the film's quality.
