Final Credits

Much deliberation has occurred over the filming process of what the name of the film should be. Many different suggestions have been said but there was always something not quite right about them. We decided to keep it simple, stick the films controlling idea and name it "Limbo". Despite the fact the title somewhat gives some of the story away, we felt that the best idea was to make the title appear at the end of the film.
Now the film is complete and we can view it over, we feel this is an outstanding way to portray the credits, as it somewhat clears some unclear air that the audience may have as to what the film itself was about. The decision to do this came from one of our main influences "Inception". Similar to Inception we have undergone a somewhat startling conclusion which asks questions, as the title appears dramatically with a bang in sound. Once the title appears we were then able to place the actual credits in, we felt that it's best to keep them simple, as not to take away interest from the films conclusion, so like Inception, a simple black screen was used with the font white as to stand out in a rather subtle tone. Making the credits short was something that the group felt important, so the audience can immediately react and compare ideas of what happened, so to keep it simple we placed the actors names, the directors and the producers. The image above shows an example of how Inception credited their actors, we feel this effective and attempted to imitate this with our own twist.
