Formatting/order of credits

 For this blog post Im doing a bit of my own research, so I decided to research on formatting and the order of credits. What this means is the way then text and the credits are displayed in as well as their order. Usually credits follow a structured format, they're either traditional as their black toned at the end of a movie, or their more creative side of it which can be displayed at the start or in some other way that differs from most films. 

They usually begin with the studio logo, some production logos as well, then giving out to the creative roles such as the director, main cast, the producers, and the screenwriters which are usually the most "known" or get the most credit for it. Some may prioritize the director with the traditional quote of "A film by..." or they highlight the lead actor's first. This all depends on the creativity of the film and how they want it to be produced and seen. If films are very creative, they will style the credits in a way that has to do with the film, such as Ratatouille, which as I've posted before in my blog uses a 2D animation, that is drawn as opposed to the movie being 3D, but these credits also tell the story of the film very shortly as well. There are overall many ways to display these credits, and they are all up to how suitable they may be for the film.

However, end credits are usually in a more detailed format, that begins with the principal cast, then supporting cast, and then the department heads which include all the producers of certain aspects such as the cinematography, editing, production design, etc etc. Usually ending with the crew members, the visual effects teams and other any acknowledgement, and the final credits are the music credits, any legal disclaimers and, studio logos that are involved within the production of the movie. Sometimes, some movies may sneak in a little post-credit scene.
