Re-Creating a Film Opening Title

Our production company is called Sunbear productions and we are producing a film. The majority of films start with opening titles in which titles are shown in an order. This is the order in which film titles are shown

The name of the studio distributing the film which may or may not have produced the film.
The name of the production company
The producers name
Who the film is staring (principle actors)
The film title
Featuring (less major actors)
The casting director
The composer of music
Production designer
As a variation some of the below may be noted:
  • SET DESIGN
  • COSTUMES or COSTUMES BY or GOWNS (older movies)
  • HAIRDRESSER
  • MAKE-UP ARTIST
  • SOUND RECORDING (older movies)
  • VISUAL EFFECTS DIRECTOR or VISUAL EFFECTS BY 
(source http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opening_credits)

The editor
Director of photography
Executive producer
Based on books/characters/story
Writers
Director

To enforce our knowledge on how opening titles are constructed Sunbears production company will be producing a re-make of opening titles from the film Vertigo

This will help Sunbears production in understanding techniques that work and when we come to creating our own opening titles scene help us understand what we have to do, the order of titles and help us create it efficiently.
