In our last production meeting Della and I decided that this week I should look at titles shown in the opening of films so we can get a wider idea of the sort of things to include ourselves. Nowadays, the opening credits to a film are usually embedded into the beginning scene of the film, and can last for however long the director wants (for example, the credits in the1993 film The Fugitive lasted for 15 minutes into the opening sequence).
According to Wikipeida's page on opening credits the most commonly found sequence of titles goes as follows (I have left some of the title's on this page out because they aren't relevant to the opening sequence):
NAME OF THE PRODUCTION COMPANY : "HMG Productions"
DIRECTORS NAMES : "A Film By Della Helwig & Becky Daniels"
STARRING : "Will Steele" & "Alison Cowling" (On our storyboard we have allowed for them to have seperate titles. The first one to be shown will have 'starring' with their name)
PRODUCTION DESIGNERS : "Produced by Della Helwig & Becky Daniels"
FILM NAME : "Foretold"
I don't think we should put in too many titles because otherwise it will look too much like the opening credits and not the beginning of a film, so I've picked what are the most important 5 (in my opinion and by doing research on other title sequences eg The Shining from http://www.artofthetitle.com/ )
