Examples of opening credits in Horror Films


From our first cut, we noticed that we had to change our credits in our opening, this is because we felt that they didn't fit in with our opening. We also felt didn't know what credits to include and how to position them in our opening, because of this I did some research into opening credits in horror films. I researched into Se7en, which is about homicide detectives who become deeply involved in the case of a sadistic serial killer whose meticulously planned murders correspond to the seven deadly sins: gluttony, greed, sloth, wrath, pride, lust, and envy. 
I have broken down the film opening into thirteen screenshots to show the different credits that are used in film openings. 
1) The name of the distribution company  that distributes the film 

2) The name of the production company
3) Who the film is by
4) The main actor in the film
5) The supporting actor of the film
6) Title of the film
7) The supporting actors
8) The casting director
9) Head of music for the film
10) The costumer designer for the film
11) The editor of the film
12) Who wrote the film 
13) The last credit is the director of the film
From this I can clearly see what credits go into a film opening and the directors always the last credit of the opening. I can also see that we have to include many credits into our own opening to make it look more professional one. We can include Edited by, written by, costume designer, casting and music into our own.
