Order of Titles

There is a specific order of what names and what jobs are seen first by the audience on the screen, whether the titles be on a coloured solid background or whether they are placed on the action. We have learnt this order as a 'rule' in order to ensure that we follow this.
The orders as follows; 

• Name of the studio
• Name of the production company
• Starring
• Filmed by (cinematography)
• Sound (if necessary)
• Editor
• Producer
• Director

We have followed this order so that we stick to the rule so that it is clear who the most important people within the film actually are. In our case, all titles up until the end of the actors/actresses names (starring), are on a black background in white writing. They appear using a film dissolve and when they come on and off I have made sure in editing that they appear to the sound of the audio. Obviously at this point, working with the sound, a few changes can be made, in order to create as much tension for the audience as we can.

From our research, and focusing on the psychological thriller genre, these opening credits are shown in the beginning of the opening sequence (usually within the first quarter but in only some cases the first half), as the codes and conventions of this genre show this is a normality. We have set these opening credits fairly and have explained through them the workload that has been completed by the team.
