Distributor logo and Crew.

In an opening sequence of a film before the film starts rolling, the titles introduce the director, logo company, distributors, actors & actresses and all the other crew that were involved for example hair and make up artist. But firstly though the titles come in a specific order, so as you are watching a film you notice firstly:

  • The distributor logo- This is the logo that and company that help promote the film to get into the cinemas and allow it to be known and famous. Furthermore it helps it get on to DVD's as well as just in the movies. Examples of distributor logos:
  • The production logo - This logo is optional for the film as it helps brand the film and make it more noticeable. 

  • The cast - After the production logo and distributor logo have been presented its time to introduce the cast who are the people playing the roles in the actual film. It mainly goes in order of the main character so for example in Sixth Sense Bruce Willis name is first as he is the main characters. Furthermore, even if he wasnt the main character he would still have his name first as he is a big star and would have been paid a lot of money to do the film. Secondly, it would be the next second biggest character so for example in the film Dinner for Schmucks Paul Rudd is the second name in the film as he is a big character but not as big as the main character in the film. Then it would go on and on with names but they would put a childs name either 3rd or 4th because of how old they are, so an example of this would be in the film Lemony Snicket's a Story of Unfortunate Events, they introduce Jim Carrey first but not the three children because of their, even though those three have the main parts in the film.








The crew- The crew in  the films is varied as some films show them before the cast but other films show them after the cast, so its a different variety of ways to show the crew. But in each different film they introduce a different crew member. So for example in the Sixth Sense the show the director first they have left him till last as he is most important. However, in the film The Incredibles that introduce the director and writer ( who is the same person ) first even before all the cast have been introduced. On the other hand in the film Juno they have introduced the cast first before the crew and have introduced firstly the person who does the casting and has left the director till last.
