Titles

In this post, I will be explaining titles in detail, from what order the titles usually come in, what order the cast and crew come in, what titles usually appear and creative titles that have been used.

These are some of the titles that are featured in The Sixth Sense:






This is the order in which titles usually go in (this also features the titles that are usually implemented into the opening credits of most films):

- Companies who have produced and/or distributed the film
- The star actors/actresses of the film (star cast members)
- The film's title
- The rest of the actors/actresses of the film (cast members)
- Casting by
- Costume designer
- Edited by
- Sound by
- Music by
- Production Designer
- Director of Photography
- Executive Producer
- Screenplay by
- Producer
- Director

These are some of the titles that are featured in Ocean's Eleven:







Something to observe is that cast members (actors and actresses) are shown from the most significant cast member (the 'star') to the least significant cast member (one of the supporting actors/actresses). This is the opposite for the crew (the people working backstage), as crew members are shown from the least significant (usually the person casting actors and actresses for particular roles) to the most significant (the director).

These are some of the titles that are featured in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo:








Unique titles to have been implemented into opening credits of films include Co-Producers and Sound Designers (seen in the opening credits of 'The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo) as well as Art Director, Assistant to the Producer, Makeup Supervisor, Assistant Director and Title Designer (all seen in the opening credits of 'Ocean's Eleven' *1960 version*).

These are the titles that are featured in I, Robot:
