As a class we gathered data about the opening credits in different genre's of film, by watching them and taking notice of each order that the names/production appears in. We realised that as we looked through the data that in most cases 'Production Associates' are always put first, starting with the studio name e.g universal, paramount.
Next is usually the actors, starting with the 'Major' roles then 'Minor' roles towards the end. Then to finish off people who made the film what it is, this also most the times ends with the 'Director' of the film.

However there is a difference between 'Opening Credits' and 'Title Sequences'. Opening Credits are merely just text on a background where as Title Sequences are more complex of that being they are an entirely separate sequence in its own right e.g James Bond films.
This is the opening titles for Scott Pilgrim vs. The World which was part of my research:
As our production team (Myself, Charlotte and Robbie) we were thinking of several ways that we could present our opening credits. We also came up with our production team name of 'Reflection Productions' notice the three letters of our first names feature in the name. This would appear as the first thing you see on the opening credits. This would be followed by:
- Film Title?
- Actors?
- Sound/Edit?
- Producer?
- Writer?
- Director.
This is just a basic idea of a simple some simple opening credits for our coursework. Here's a link to some opening cedits that helped us on creating a simple structure for our works.
