Film titles and credits - 10 Things I Hate About You - Mathew Garrett


In this sequence, the credits and title are written in a rough, scruffy hand writing. Apart from two credits, the rest are overlaid/super imposed onto moving images.
Title
The main title of the film is the first to be shown over moving images. The title has been made to look like someones scruffy hand writing in what possibly could be either a crayon, or by quickly brushing it on using paint. The title and credits dissolve over the moving image and we are able to see the background, the city in which this movie has been set. The title and credits appear to shake and appear to be three different images flicking between each other. The titles and credits appear in a childish manner as the crayon/paint style of the title suggests. Also, they have been drawn in bright colours which could suggest youth and child like behaviour in this film. Each credits has been overlaid onto interesting shots. Each shot is interesting because of the use of a crane or jib, panning along the scenery. During action in the film, the credits are off centred so that we can see the more important image in the background. Each credits has been carefully chosen so that it does not block the audiences view and we are still able to see both credit and moving image clearly. The Credits do not stop until nearly 5 minutes into the film.
Music
This film was made in 1999 so it has 90's music. The music in this sequence is common to that time and is a popular teenagers track, One Week by Bare naked Ladies. This music slowly fades away and is covered up by Bad Reputation by Joan Lett, another popular track at the time. However this track is louder and more aggressive than the previous. These tracks represent teen culture at the time and represent the theme of the film.
