RESEARCH - title conclusions.

Title sequences are usually 1-3 minutes, and in that time they have to show the names of the significant roles in making the movie.
From my research i have learnt that a films opening sequence usually has a certain order that it goes in, on average they look something like this-

PRODUCTION COMPANY presents

The font of the credits always depends on the genre of the film, for example a happy chick-flick movie will often have bright curly writing as it mirrors the mood of the film. or in a horror movie,creepy small squiggly writing might be used as it shares the uneasy feeling of the movie.

For the less known people on the credits a smaller font will be used as the audience wouldn't really recognize them so it doesn't make as big of a difference to them, whereas if a big actor, producer or director is involved the font of there name will often be big and bold as it lets the audience know the standard of the film, for example .If a high paid actor is used it means that the film will be most likely be a big budget film. Also it will interest any fans of the popular people.
