The conventional order of a title sequence


Order Of Title Sequence

In the title sequence, there is a lot more importance to the order in which the credits come up even if it seems like there isn't. It is also important how many times a certain name comes up in the title sequences for example the distributors company name might come up 3 times where as an actors name will only come up once. This is because as the distributors they normally would have paid the most money for the film to actually be made and seen in cinemas so they have priority and authority over when and how many times the company name comes up.
This is why the order of title sequences are important.
1) you will almost always have the production and distribution companies name come up, and they are usually in a stand alone title sequence and are ordered in how helpful they were in the making of the film. All this is done for promotional reasons, giving people credit and saying thank you for taking part in this film.

2) you will either have some actors names depending on how big they are, or what normally comes second the film title. The film titles will also come in a stand alone title sequence most of the time, but always in big bold letters, bigger than any other title in the whole opening.
