Video Credits: Difference between revisions

* ''[[Robin Hood (Disney film)|Robin Hood]]'' does this at the beginning (as [[Disney Animated Canon]] films didn't have full closing credits until [[The Eighties]], preferring simple "The End" title cards).

* ''[[Citizen Kane (Film)|Citizen Kane]]'' and ''The Magnificent Ambersons'', the first two films directed by [[Orson Welles]]. Welles did not include himself in the video credits for ''Kane'' despite playing the lead role, instead burying his own credit at the bottom of a quick list of minor characters. For ''The Magnificent Ambersons'', Welles not only had video credits but ''narrated'' video credits, with Welles reading off the actors' names as they appear in turn ("Joseph Cotten played Eugene Morgan") and reading off the crew's names with appropriate video clips (for example, a shot of a film camera as Welles says "the photographer (i.e., cinematographer) was Stanley Cortez").

* ''[[Dracula: Dead and Loving It]]'' featured credits like this framed in ornamental picture (or possibly mirror) frames

* The ''[[Flash Gordon Serial (Film)|Flash Gordon]]'' and ''[[Buck Rogers]]'' serials always did this at the beginning of their first few chapters. The later episodes of each serial would omit the cast portraits.

* ''[[MashM*A*S*H (Filmfilm)|Mash]]''

* ''[[OSS 117: Cairo, Nest of Spies (Film)|OSS 117 Cairo Nest of Spies]]''.

* ''[[Predator (Film)|Predator]]'' (with new footage of everyone laughing and happy, except for a truly scared [[Arnold Schwarzenegger|Arnie]])

* ''[[The Princess Bride (Filmfilm)|The Princess Bride]]''

* Played with in ''[[Robin Hood: Men in Tights]]'', where only the big-name ''cameos'' are featured this way.

* ''[[ChildsChild's Play (Filmfilm)|Seed of Chucky]]''

* All the ''[[Scream (Filmfilm)|Scream]]'' films

* The 2009 edition of ''[[Sherlock Holmes (Filmfilm)|Sherlock Holmes]]''

* ''[[Twelve12 Angry Men]]''. Somewhat necessary, considering that no character is named onscreen.

* Seemed to have been popular with shot-on-video horror films, such as ''[[Sledgehammer (Film)|Sledgehammer]], Cannibal Campout'' and ''Satan Claus''

** ''[[Dad's Army (TV)|Dads Army]]''

** ''[['Allo 'Allo (TV)!|Allo Allo]]''

** ''[[Hi De -de-Hi!]]'' -- though the actors are not in character. This is particularly noticable with Diane Holland (who plays snobbish Yvonne) and Leslie Dwyer (who plays miserable old man Mr Partridge) as both actors generally beam happily in the credits.

** ''[[Are You Being Served? (TV)|Are You Being Served]]'': Since the episodes are practically teleplays, the clips are of the actors -- sometimes not in-character -- after completing the episode.

** And even into the '90s with ''[[Grace And Favour]]'' (a.k.a. ''Are You Being Served Again''), ''[[You Rang, M 'Lord?]]'', and ''[[Oh Doctor Beeching]]'' (about the last series to use them).
