Formatting/order of credits researching!

 Researching specifics on formatting/order of credits!

Most movie credit sequences follow a strict order such as this one:

1. Studio/producer companies logos are shown

-Often changed in psychological thrillers/horrors (distorted sound, slow graphics, silence)

2. Main production credit introduced
-"A "Production Company" Production"

3. Film Title Placement 

- This is super important in horror, most times it is delayed or random

4. Most known cast introduced

-Usually the most famous actors appears first. Most times goes like "Starring" or "With" 

5. Less known cast introduced

-Often minimized or belittled

6. Key roles (creators)

-Casting director

-Music composer

-Editor producer 

-Director of photography

7. Writer(s) presented

- "Written by" or "Screenplay by"

8. Director introduced

Almost always shown last: "Directed by (director)"


For example, a film that follows these guidelines would be the movie "Se7evn" a 1995 movie directed David Fincher and written by Andrew Kevin Walker.
