Studying Film titles.

Today we went on artofthetitles.com and watched several Horror films openings.
we noted how for the first clip, " Dawn of the Dead", the titles were red on a black background,
the names were in capital letters whilst the other text was in lower case.

We assume that the first actors to be credited are the most important, and that when more than one name is creditted on a single screen, characters are less important. Also to be noted is that the Directors name is not shown.

Some of the films displayed the Production and distribution companies at the beginning whereas in "Zombieland" titles weren't used until the end of the opening sequence.
