The Traditional order of the Titles in the Opening sequence

The order the titles are placed in at the beginning of the film is far from random - there is an established order in which they are placed. I hope to use this specific order of titles when it comes to adding titles to our thriller opening:

• NAME OF THE STUDIO

• NAME OF THE PRODUCTION COMPANY
• A FILM BY (DIRECTOR NAME)

• EDITOR or EDITED BY

• STARRING

• FEATURING

• CASTING or CASTING BY

• MUSIC or MUSIC COMPOSED BY or ORIGINAL SCORE BY

• SET DESIGN
• COSTUMES
• HAIRDRESSER
• MAKE-UP ARTIST
• SOUND RECORDING
• VISUAL EFFECTS DIRECTOR or VISUAL EFFECTS BY
• DIRECTOR OF PHOTOGRAPGY
• PRODUCER
• BASED ON BOOK/PLAY
• STORY BY
• WRITTEN BY

The opening title sequence from the famous film "Se7en" is a classic example of the order in which titles are placed in the opening of a thriller film:
