Best Answer

Credits for a film production are intended to acknowledge all contributions to the project. Many credits are contractual. Sitting still for the credit roll can educate film goers as to the numbers of people who contributed to the experience.

Who writes the credits in films?

Producers are responsible for funding and authorizing expenses for films. Every person who is paid for work as part of a film project, unless otherwise arranged, is credited in the end-credits/ end title. The producers hire a specialist in producing closing credits, and provides the list of cast and crew to be included in the 'credit roll'. Workers can then claim participation in this film on their resumes. Because movies are made by workers assembled for the project, and are often represented by unions, earning credits and confirming them in the end titles are important career signals. Participants who are not paid are generally acknowledged in 'thanks' sections, and may of these include city or state film commissions, 'the people of the [location]' and so forth.
