Film title conventions

The Task

As a class our task was to go away and record the order in which titles appear in the opening sequence of a film. We had to do this for three films. 

Our findings

The common theme developing was that the names of actors and directors and producers were always at the start or the end of the opening titles. Meanwhile the names of Costume Designers, Photographers, Music contributors and Casting members always remained in the middle of this sequence OR closer to the end if the main jobs/names/labels were at the start.

Here are our class findings, look for yourself:
