research/analyze/discussing three credit sequences from films within chosen genre

 After not knowing how a credit sequence works and the order of how it goes or where it goes, I did some useful research. I had seen credit sequences in movies before but I simply hadn't payed enough attention to now the order or where things go. Even though I knew what I was looking for, it still took time to find useful information to learn from. So, according to "How to Order Movie Credits: Guide to Opening and End Credits" ,Written by MasterClass. The "basic order" for credit sequences is the following.

  1. The Distributor
  2. The Production Company
  3. The film maker
  4. Film title
  5. Cast
  6. Casting director
  7. Music composer
  8. Costume designer
  9. Associate producers
  10. Editor
  11. Production designer
  12. Director of Photography
  13. Executive producers
  14. Producers
  15. Writers 
  16. Directors
This list is long, and was very useful but we don't plan on including everything in there. We'll include the majority but not all, we will though follow that order for our opening scene. After doing that research, I started researching on my example on credit sequences within my chosen genre (romance horror).

My first example being the opening credit sequences from the film dark shadows from 2012. The films genre is romance horror. Its opening credit sequence goes with the production company and then the title of the movie with music that goes with the background and name. But, after that the movie starts and the rest of the credits are shown at the end. 

My next example is Ghost, 1990. The film starts off with showing the distributor, the production company, film maker, and then the title strikes with a horror sound of suspense, and finally the cast name start coming up while in the background the camera is shifting us through a room. The room being a setting that goes with how the film is supposed to go. 

My final example would be the opening credit sequence from the animated film corpse bride which includes all 1 through 16 of the credit order mentioned above from MasterClass. It includes everything while having background music and shifting through the setting of where the animated film takes place.
