Credits – Length of / Number of / Placement of and Top Billing and Single Cards for Main Actors and timelines

Normally an opening title sequence credits can be anything from 2-5 minutes long, my opening title sequence will be around 2 minutes.  

The average number of credits per opening title sequence is around 24, starting with the main characters first and the director last. Titles must be consistent and around the same time per credit, for example the main actor cannot be 10 seconds whereas the director being 2 seconds. Each credit is usually around 5 seconds long, however can be longer.

Jennifer Aniston has a contract where her name only must be displayed on a card, this is because she wants to show the significance of her role.
