Title and Credits (Teejay Celeste)

Titles and Credits 

In a motion picture, the opening credits or opening titles are shown at the very beginning and list the most important members of the production. They are now usually shown as text  on a blank screen or static pictures, or sometimes on top of action in the show. There may or may not be accompanying music. When opening credits are built into a separate sequence of their own, the correct term is title sequence 

Opening Credits Usually Include

NAME OF THE STUDIO

Name of the studio that is distributing the film and may or may not have produced it.
