A stack of titles that runs upward on the screen is called what?

• A. Lower Third
• B. Chyron
• C. Roll or Rolling Title
• D. Crawl Title

Answer: (C)

Vertical scrolling of multiple lines of text, moving upward on the screen, is called a rolling title. This describes a stack of names or credits that slides up as the sequence plays, which is exactly how end credits or opening sequences are often shown. A lower third is a small label that sits in the lower third of the frame, not a vertical stack moving up. A chyron is a general term for any on-screen graphic label, not specifically the upward-moving credits. A crawl is text that moves horizontally, usually across the bottom of the screen, not upward. So the upward-moving stack is best described as a rolling title.
