Closing credits

A full set of credits can include the cast and crew, but also production sponsors, distribution companies, works of music licensed or written for the work, various legal disclaimers, such as copyright and more.

Credits are either a series of static frames, or a single list that scrolls from the bottom of the screen to the top.

Occasionally closing credits will divert from this standard form to scroll in another direction, include illustrations, extra scenes, bloopers, joke credits and post-credits scenes.

West Side Story showed only the title at the beginning of the film, and Around the World in 80 Days had no opening credits at all.
