"Opening credits, in a television program, motion picture, or video game, are shown at the beginning of a show and list the most important members of the production. They are usually shown as text superimposed on a blank screen or static pictures, or sometimes on top of action in the show. Some opening credits are built around animation or production numbers of some sort (such as the James Bond films). Opening credits usually mention the major actors, guest stars, producers and director, as opposed to closing credits which lists the entire production crew."

Yesterday we discussed and analyzed film openings, such as 'Se7en' and 'Panic Room'. We looked at the order that members of the film production team and cast are displayed in. We discovered that it is as follows;
- The production company, and their logo
- The directors name ("a film made by...")
- The main characters of the film ("Starring...")
- The co-stars ("Also featuring...")
- Other members of the filming team (Editors, cameraman, hair and makeup artists, assistant directors and producers etc)
