Scott Pilgrim vs. The World (2010)
After a quick dialogue scene, the film jumps into a high-energy band rehearsal, where credits appear in bold text and a constantly changing bright-colored patterned background. This film takes an unconventional approach to opening credits by not integrating them into the scene but instead cutting away from the film to a graphic.
Donnie Darko (2001)
The film begins with the protagonist waking up on a road in the mountains at dawn, staring out in confusion as music plays in the background. He rides his bike home through an idyllic suburban neighborhood, creating the film’s eerie contrast between normalcy and impending doom. The credits roll slowly over a calm morning, establishing the film’s surreal tone.
Turbo Kid (2015)
The film begins with the protagonist biking across a desolate, post-apocalyptic wasteland, collecting random junk. As he gets back to his house, the credits roll in a small yellow font and always stay in the left/right lower/upper thirds, to not take away from what's happening in the film.
Conclusion:
- Credit sequences don't have specific rules and can be stylized to the aesthetic of the film.
- Fonts are important!
