Credits

I didn't know the order in which the credits needed to come onto the screen. So, i went on to Wikipedia and typed in 'Opening Credits'. This is the list that i found, which will help us to complete the first 2 minutes of the title sequence. Tim and Alice had already done this, and Tim saved it on his 'Bookmarks'. He text me and told me, but I didn't understand the text, and so found it myself. It was only later when Tim showed me that I realised. How foolish.

Common opening credits order

While there are numerous variations most opening credits use some variation of the basic order noted within:

(NAME OF THE STUDIO)

- name of the studio that is distributing the film and may or may not have produced it (Buena Vista, Columbia, Lions Gate, Universal, etc.)

(NAME OF THE PRODUCTION COMPANY)

- name of the production company that actually made the film

- name of the investment groups or companies that financed a substantial part of the film (usually credited as "in association with")

(PRODUCER NAME) PRODUCTION or/and (director only) A FILM BY (DIRECTOR or PRODUCER NAME)

- director's or producer's first credit, often "a film by XY or "a XY film"

STARRING

- principal actors, ( Sometimes the stars' and director's credits will be reversed, depending on the star's deal with the studio)

(FILM'S TITLE)

- name of the film
