I highly commend the web page 'Nine top tips for Media students'. From the people behind theory.org.uk, its worth a read!

Blog post tweaks for better analysis + presentation




I've used a main heading (green, Georgia, bold, largest), + 1 level of sub-heading so far (Arial, large, red, Arial). My main text is Times, which you should stick to as well.

TITLES IN NUMBERS: How many, how long, companies...

21 titles, quite typical!
TYPICAL # OF TITLES: 23

I looked at 10 films from multiple genres (listed in this post), and counted how many titles were featured in the opening sequence.

There was a lot of variation - some (example, example) had very few, but an average of those with 10+ was 23 [add your number!]

Film Title, for example, had 23 titles - see below for the full list.



TYPICAL DURATION OF TITLES: 3:20mins
Sherlock Holmes had titles for 2:54, fairly typical

Counting from the 1st to the last, I also saw considerable variation in how long the titles sequence lasted.

This variation reflects the variation in the length of film openings overall, but I did calculate an average for those with 10+ titles

Film Title, for example, had a 3:40 timing between its 1st and final title (while Film Title had just 0:40, showing the variety!)




- About 20-30 titles (However sometimes only the companies and the director is mentioned)

- The duration of titles is usually about 5 minutes long. (It can be shorter and a gap between them)

- +/- 5 companies are usually credited (But it can be less)
