Opening Sequence Titles and Credits Analysis

The Film Sherlock Holmes uses an interesting style for its titles and credits. The text is accompanied by  selected clips (some of which are related to each other, e.g. Clip of character and the credits are for its actor) which are then inked onto a page. This is relevant for Sherlock Holmes as it is a famous novel, this creates the effect that the film is making reference to the novel. The order of the credits are; Director, Screenplay composers, Producers, Editor and lastly the main actor before the title appears. After this the remaining actors are then listed, followed by the casting manager, music producers, costume designer, visual effects supervisor, film studio, production companies and lastly the director.
The titles and credits for films tend to generally follow this patter whilst some making some minor changes to the order of it to better suit their sequence. I will take this order into account when making the credits for my opening sequence and apply it so that the credits are in an order that makes sense.
