Research into the Actual Order of Titles

Research into the Actual Order of Titles...

If I'm going to make an opening title sequence, I'll need to look into the ordering of other similar sequences from professional products. This opening title sequence for Four in the Morning (2016) is of a similar style. Ignoring the colourful waves effect and pig character, the sequence first listed all the actors and actresses involved fairly quickly, as they're most likely not very big names. This was soon followed by the executive producer and producer. Finally, as the tv show was a small budget independent project, there was a list of all other executive producers and lastly the creator. I was not a fan of this format particularly as the titles didn't include many of the usual credits such as the music and studio. The font suits this particular style however for mine I would prefer a more traditional look to match the grimy feel of the sequence rather than bright neon colours.

Another good source of inspiration is this opening title sequence from Enemy (2013). Once again the titles in this open with the lead actors followed by the film title. The bright bold font looks really good on the establishing building shots. However the film does the opposite of Four in the Morning and has too many titles on at once, and for too long. From these two sequences I've decided I'd like to use a basic white font, and have titles of the most important people involved and no more.
