The titles that appear in this opening sequence are in some ways different to what is usually seen in an opening. Typically in films the name of the director is something that appears last and in this opening it does but also is the first name that appears at the beginning. The title of the film  appears quite early on which is something that is seen frequently in opening so it is something to consider when editing our opening. Also the running order of actors and actresses is in order of which actors are the main ones and which are more minor roles. The main actor or actress will usually appear first followed by other other main roles and is then followed by the title of the film. This is shown in this opening and then carries on with stating the names of smaller characters in the film. I have also recognised that the names of the screenwriter and producer come after the names of the actors which is something that should also be considered.
