EDITING - Title order

We have decided to follow a common order for titles for our thriller opening. It is as follows: 

1. Distrubtor ident
2. Production company ident
3. Distributor company
4. Production company
5. Film name
6. Actor 1
7. Actor 2
8. Actor 3
9. Actor 4
10. Actor 5
11. Music supervisor and music by
12. Costume designer
13. Production designer
14. Editor
15. Executive producers and producers
16. Written by
17. Director

The reasoning behind this order:
Firstly, we chose to make the film name appear before the actors because there are no big stars in our thriller. The director is shown last because they are the ones that probably have the most impact on a film. The distributor and production company have the most impact on a films success hence why they are shown first. Music supervisor & music by and executive producers & producers will be combined onto the same shot as they are similar.
