The titles that will be included in our sequence

We intend to include titles and the beginning of our opening, to introduce the people involved with the making of this sequence. The titles will appear as the first section of the sequence starts, dissolving onto the black background and then dissolving out aswell. The titles will consist of all the different jobs that helped to make the film, which include: Production company, Actors in the film, editors, sound producers and director of the sequence. The titles are intended to appear in that order listed above, which will come in one after the other.
The names of the people involved are intended to appear underneath the titles, except from the actors their names will just appear with no title. Researching into different opening sequences, the majority of them have their titles at the beginning with parts or their narrative in the background, with the titles flowing continuously.
I found this by looking at the website : http://www.artofthetitle.com/ , which had examples such as Sherlock Holmes, that used newspapers and articles to add effect to their titles. Also i saw an example of the film Snake Eyes, which used actual footage of the film, not using a separate scene to show the titles. We decided to use the method of using a separate scene for out title sequence, to keep the effect of mystery and suspense as we don't want to reveal much of the narrative of what could be the film itself, as a real production most probably wouldn't do.
