Here is a visual representation of the order in which our titles will run. I chose to represent it as a video, as not only does it give a better representation of how the titles will flow into each other, it also allows more accuracy with the timings of the titles, because I can see how long each title is, and then elongate it or make it shorter. It also means that I can digitally copy and paste the titles into the final film and retain their order and timings - this would not have been possible without making the titles in Final Cut prior to the post production of the film. I followed the industry standard order of titles, with my actors names before the crew names, as this will make our film opening look as professional as possible. Despite myself and Jack being the ones who are doing all of the crew based jobs, from costumes to directing, I decided to include the names of other people, in order to make the title sequence seem more realistic, as no real film would contain titles which contain the same person for each crew role.
Additionally to this, I added in some extra actors who don't appear in the opening, because if we were making a whole film, there would no doubt be many more supporting actors than the two who appear in the opening.
Organising the running order of the titles has greatly helped, because I can use these exact titles in the production of the film, and just change the fonts - I will already have the correct timings and order.
