My idea's for the opening credits of our animated children's film include for the credits to be very colorful and bubbly, bold and easy to read and big and noticeable and for them to appear in the background or on objects throughout the opening sequence.
FONTS
For the fonts, as mentioned before, I would like them to appear as kiddy and simple as possible. Trebuchet MS font is simple and yet effective if different colors are used on the text. Pussycat is another font which I think could be considered to be used as well as Poornut - they are both quite simple to read yet quite bubbly. Finally the font Kristen ITC could be also considered. This font is very easy to read which relates to the young audience and also is very simplistic and attractive to look at for the young viewers.
STRUCTURE
I would like our opening credits to be part of the opening scene where the credits will pop up in the background or on objects shown in the opening sequence. For example, our names could be materializing in the background of a scene using plasticine (which is what out characters are made out of and very colorful). Another example is that our names could be established in the scene where the tomato ketchup is used. The ketchup is going to be squirted out of the bottle by one of the bad food characters jumping on the bottle. When it comes out one of our names will appear on the work top from the outline of the ketchup.
To conclude, the credits (if we are not using on screen fonts) should be made out of plasticine which in itself is very colorful which catches the attention of a young audience, with out names being spelt out throughout the opening sequence in the background of a scene or on objects used in a scene (such as the ketchup).
