Conventional Titles

The opening titles within a movie tend to follow a conventional order. The name of studio and production/distribution company are presented first along with their idents. This is done to make ownership clear and familiarise the audience with the companys. 'Starring' comes next where actors and actresses who are a part of the film are credited. The film title comes next and is followed by casting, music, production design etc. Writers/directors come after these. One example of this is The Roommate.
