Poster billing analysis

I conducted analysis with the purpose to deconstruct the different segments that a billing block consists of in order to replicate it when I create my own. This is my analysis of films that belong to the horror genre, I've analysed the format of two different billing blocks.

The Little Stranger 

  1. The billing block begins with the production companies that produced the film, "FOCUS FEATURES PATH AND FILM4 IN CONJUNCTION WITH INGENIOUS MEDIA".
  2. After the multiple different production companies on the first line, the second line begins with the director of the film, "A FILM BY LENNY ABRAHAMSON"
  3. Followed by the film title "THE LITTLE STRANGER".
  4. The cast are then listed directly after the film's title.
  5. We are then informed of a number of crew members involved in creating the film, "CASTING BY NINA GOLD", "MUSIC BY STEPHEN RENNICKS".
  6. We then have executive producers and co-producers, "CO-PRODUCER ANITA OVERLAND".
  7. This is followed by existing source material the film was based on, "BASED ON 'THE LITTLE STRANGER' BY SARAH WATERS".
  8. That is followed by "SCREENPLAY LUCINDA COXON"
  9. Finally, the last one is again the director "DIRECTED BY LENNY ABRAHAMS".
The Conjuring 


  1. The billing block begins with the different production companies that produced the film on the first line, "NEW LINE CINEMA PRESENTS A SAFRANI COMPNAY/EVERGREEN MEDIA GROUP PRODUCTION".
  2. The second line begins with who the film is by, meaning the director, "A JAMES WAN FILM".
  3. This is immediately followed by the title of the film, "THE CONJURING".
  4. The title of the film is followed by the cast, the people starring in the film, "VERA FARMIGA PATRICK WILSON".
  5. This is followed by multiple different members of the film crew on the third line, "MUSIC BY JOSEPH BISHARA, EDITED BY KIRK MORRI, PRODUCTION DESIGNER JULIE BERGHOFF".
  6. The fourth line are both executive producers, "EXECUTIVE PRODUCERS WALTER HAMADA DAVE NEUSTADTER" and "WRITTEN BY CHAD HAYES".
  7. the final line are the producers, "PRODUCED BY TONY DEROSA-GRUND PETER SAFRAN", and finally the director again, "DIRECTED BY JAMES WAN".
