With movie title sequences you usually see a repeated order with nearly every film you see.
It usually starts with the names of the actors that play the main parts. These are usually the names that attract the audiences to these films as their favorite actors are in them. Them being at the start of the title sequences reminds the audience that they want to see this film and that it will be great as they have a familiar face in it. It can also define the type of audience in a film with different actors known for other similar roles.
Then we get the names of the backstage crew, not all of them but only the man ones with the bigger roles like the executives, and directors of photography/ Costume designers, these are the kinds of roles that some people watching the film might be slightly interested in as they are important jobs, If not there just there whilst the title sequence flows on by whilst the audience are watching what's going on in the background.
Then we get some of the bigger names like the producers toward the end of the sequence.
And then the Director will come last as he has the biggest role in the entire film. Usually the sequence slows down at this point to attract the audiences attention to them as Directors also attract audiences to films as they may want to see directors like Spielberg or James Cameron.
So for our opening sequence the first name that will come up would be Jack seeing that he is the main actor in the entire sequence. Then we would get mine and Chris's name mentioned afterwards as our roles are behind the camera and then the directors name at the very end which would be mine. I like sound as it helps depict the mood and pace of a scene. The beat of music and the effect it has is important too. For example in a chase scent the music is fast and loud non (diegetic sound) the fast and loud music shows how fast the chase is and how intense it is where as in a slow dance romantic scene the music would be slow and soft to allow the audience to be more focused on what is going on in the scene.
