Title Timelines Evaluation

After studying time lines from various films in the drama genre, we have discovered that the titles almost always come in a certain order, with the companies producing the film coming at the beginning of the film, followed by the main actors, then the title, smaller actors, significant people who contribute to the film and finally the director. The companies, big actors, title and director have longer screen time in comparison to the smaller actors and other people who worked on the film such as costume designers, etc etc. From this, we have concluded to follow the same guideline with our own film opening in order to remain professional and make sure our opening looks good and works as well as it possibly can.

An example of what we found is in Forrest Gump (1994) with the institute first, then actor, then title. This is what we will echo in our opening because it is effective and what is usually used within the film industry.
