What does End Credits mean?
Closing Credits (End Credits) are the list of cast and crew members that appear at the end of a film, TV show, or other media production. These credits typically list the names of everyone involved in the production, from the lead actors to the technical crew, in order of their contributions. Closing credits can be simple scrolling text or include graphics, animations, or bloopers. Related terms include Opening Credits, which introduce key cast and crew at the beginning of a film or show, and Crawl, which refers to text that scrolls across the screen, usually from bottom to top.
Example:The closing credits rolled, listing the cast and crew who contributed to the film’s production, while outtakes played in the background.
Example: Closing credits often include a special “thank you” section, where filmmakers acknowledge contributors and supporters of the project.
