Film Credits• Credits are used in film and TV and acknowledge the work of the

institution, cast and crew on a product

• Opening credits are shown at the very beginning and list the most important members of the production.

• They are now usually shown as text superimposed on a blank screen or static pictures, or sometimes on top of action in the show.

• There may or may not be accompanying music. Where opening credits are built into a separate sequence of their own, the correct term is title sequence
