I have created a table to show the sequence of titles in the opening of a film so that we are able to create the opening of our titles to look as realistic and accurate as possible. From the table, the name in red is highlighted as the directors and in most films, this is the last name that appears before the main plot of the film begins. The only film I have found which has deviated from this is Kill Bill, where because of the credibility of the Director (Quentin Tarantino), his name is sequenced earlier in the titles showing it is his '4th film'. The title name is one of the most variating, as it can be used in different places to create a certain effect such as showing the cast first to show the famous names or to create irony in showing the name last in such films as 'Snatch'. Other names like the director of photography and producers seem to appear in the same or a very similar order so our group can learn to use the correct sequence of titles whilst also creating an order which will benefit our target audience. For example, our titles will be over actual filming like in '13 Going on 30' because this is aimed at a younger audience, so to maintain their attention the film titles cannot be placed on its own in the centre of a shot but must be to the side whilst the plot is being revealed.
The order which appears to be the most common title sequence and therefore what we will aim to produce is:
1. Distribution
2. Production Studio(s)
3. A...[usually director's company]...Production
4. Cast
5. Casting by
6. Music by
7. Co-producer
8. Costume Designer
9. Editor(s)
10. Production Designer
11. Director of Photography
12. Executive Producer
13. Produced by
14. Screenplay
15. Directed by
