I have a question regarding movies and I need your help?

Question by Awesome Bill: I have a question regarding movies and I need your help?
I know that since the birth of the movie-making industry that film technology, contracts, laws, and special effects all play a part in the final cost of a movie.

But I was waiting for the credit roll of the “King Kong” remake starring Naomi Watts to pass on HBO this morning and wondered why so many names HAVE to be included on the credit roll instead of the top people responsible for specific aspects of the film.

My question is then, is it done this way out of courtesy, or is it a law that anyone associated with the making of a perticular movie must have their name printed on the film?

Some get their names in because of contract, some is negotiable, some is not, some is Producer’s decision, a lot of it is because of UNIONS. 🙂
