Conventions of Institutional Credits

An Education -http://www.artofthetitle.com/title/an-education/

In the opening sequence of this film we can tell that main themes of the movie are friendship, teenage life and school life, the girls are also wearing school uniform connoting school life. The props such as the Lacrosse sticks connote that the school is quite modern and more posh compared to everyday schools. As the girls are dancing with other girls this connotes that it is an all girls school as no boys are denoted in the opening sequence. The titles also include backgrounds which relate to the theme of school life as there is a background with yo-yo. 

The institution logo and the other titles both have the same type of typography, The typography is quite bold and slick to connote that it is quite modern, there is also a skipping rope which connotes school life and fun it allows the audience to get an idea of what the film is about before it starts , it relates to themes of school life,also the image on the left is the name of an actor which is near the start of the titles. This may also connote that he is a more important actor, he also has his own title connoting that he is important compared to other actors.

Timeline

I have learnt that institutional logo does not really have to have 

a lot of detail, it could be plain and simple, it could match the typography

that is used within the other credits but it does not have to, also the 

institutional  credits give the audience and idea on what type of film it is going to be
