Conventional Order of a Title Sequence

The film openings which I have watched follow a conventional order. In the conventional order of a title sequence, the production company's identity and name is the first item to appear on the screen. This is then followed by the distribution company's identity and name. These two are the first items to be shown as they are the reason why the film exists - the films have been funded and distributed by these companies. Below is a chronological list of the rest of the items which appear in a title sequence:

  • Production company ident
  • Production company titles
  • Distribution company ident
  • Distribution company title
  • Other production companys
  • Cast (main actors/actresses)
  • Film title
  • Cast
  • Casting
  • Costume
  • Music Suprevisor
  • Music by
  • Editor
  • Prod design
  • Director of photography
  • Writer
  • Director
