Credits

At the BFI, I learned how important credits were to actors and how much they desired to have a credit all to themselves. The visual effects person who was at the BFI study day, really emphasised how much actors demand an individual credit.

Credits are a big part of a movie. They tell the audience who has stared in the film, the director, the producer, the distributers and editors.

End credits are added to the end of a movie to list the cast and crew involved in the production. They usually appear as a list of names in small type, which either flip very quickly from page to page or move smoothly. Credits may crawl either right to left, usually in the UK, or bottom to top, more commonly in American movies. Credits that appear during an opening title sequence do not appear at the end of a movie.
