I have looked at a past student's work on putting a surprise clip after the credits of a short film. In tabithalaya2media.blogspot.co.uk's short film, she has put a clip after her credits to complete it (and for her genre, to give the audience an idea of 'what comes next' in a sequel). I like the idea of having an after credits scene because it is a surprise to the audience that finishes it off neatly and brings them back to the film, rather than having them leave as soon as the credits come on.
This is Tabitha's end scene for after her credits. Watching this has made me want to do an after credits scene as I like the way it doesn't officially end the film for the audience but it gives it an official finish after the traditional ending.
I have filmed a final scene to play after my credits. Rather than follow the style of Tabitha's and play a clip to show a sequel, I am going to use a clip showing the 3 most frequent characters shown in my film and what their natural life is like. There is a canted angle from the camera being handheld to show the natural look to it and the sound is the same volume it was recorded at with no additional non-diagetic sound as it is just a playback from the theme of the film itself. It fits well after the credits because the non-diegetic background song has finished and it plays without edit.
