Billing/Credits Analysis

Billing is an important component of a teaser trailer. It is necessary for there to be a list of the cast and crew involved in a film, as well as an indication to the companies involved in the making of it. The billing is listed in a specific order, as the billing for Reservoir Dogs will highlight.

The billing on this poster lists the cast and crew in the way that is conventional, and is listed in all other film posters. The order is as follows:

- Production companies
- Director
- Cast (In order of importance)
- Music Supervisor
- Costume Designer
- Editor
- Production Designer
- Director of Photography
- Co-Producer
- Executive Producers
- Producer
- Writer and Director

All films follow this order, however, some films vary in the amount of crew members they include.

The credits in the trailer for Reservoir Dogs is very similar to the billing in the poster. The same cast and crew are mentioned, and in the same order.

The font is the same, as is expected, although the spacing and layout is different. The noticeable difference is that of the production company logos. Although numerous posters contain production company logos, the Reservoir Dogs poster does not.
