Kredits
Credits are the sections at the end of a movie that list the cast, crew, and production companies involved in the making of the film. They are also sometimes used to list the songs used in the movie. The credits are usually shown in the order of their importance, with the cast at the top, followed by the crew, and then the production companies.
The origins of the movie credits can be traced back to the silent film era. In those days, the credits were shown in a very different format. They were displayed as a series of title cards, which were basically just pieces of paper with the names of the cast and crew printed on them. The title cards would be shown one at a time, and would usually be accompanied by some sort of music or sound effect.
The modern movie credits began to take shape in the 1930s. That's when the studios started to use a more standardized format, which included the use of scrolling text. This allowed the credits to be displayed on a single screen, rather than having to be shown one at a time.
In the early days of television, the movie credits were often shown at the beginning of the program. However, this changed in the 1970s, when the networks began to air the credits at the end of the movie. This is now the standard practice, and is done in order to give the audience a chance to see the names of the cast and crew before they leave the theater.
Despite their importance, the movie credits can often be a source of frustration for moviegoers. This is because they can often be very long, and can sometimes last for several minutes. In addition, they are often shown at a time when the audience is eager to leave the theater. As a result, many people choose to skip the credits altogether.
