Titles research

I explored StudioBinder and Masterclass to understand what order the opening credits in our title sequence should appear in. From what I found, there is a standardised order for opening credits and they usually appear in the following order:

1. The distributor company name 

2. The production company name

3. The filmmaker name (a particular person)

4. The film title

5. The leading cast names

6. The casting director name

7. The music composer name

8. The costume designer name

9. The list of associate producers

10. The editors list

11. The production designer name

12. The director of photography name

13. Executive producers list

14. The producer name

15. The writers list

16. The director name

Although, we will be following this standardised order, our movie title will appear at the very end, rather than third. The last shot in our sequence is a close-up on Juls' eyes and as she closes them, the shot becomes black, which is the perfect moment for the title of our film to appear. 

A few posts ago I was looking for credits inspiration in films, similar to our sequence. I analysed "Split", "Taken" and "Run" and now want to summarise the ideas we are planning to apply in our project.

After discussing this part with my team, we agreed that we want to use a simplistic font (so that it's not intrusive and distracting) and have the titles fade in and out of the different pats of the screen. We are not panning to apply any animation like in "Split" solely due to the fact that it is time-consuming and will probably be distracting the viewers from the narrative. This is why we are thinking of creating titles, similar to those in "Taken", where they are not a "focus of attention".
