I analysed the opening titles of some famous films.
Regular Examples -
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory:
Skyfall:
Post apocalyptic Examples -
Zombieland:
Mad Max: Fury Road:
In Charlie and the chocolate factory, Skyfall and Zombieland the actors names in order of importance in terms of the film and acclaim are presented before the director - the director is last. This is to emphasise the priority of the director in the film. In Mad Max however, only the two main characters are titled, which is unusual in todays society. This could be because the introduction of the main characters is important to the story and the director isn't, or just an editing choice to limit the amount of titles in order to introduce the story sooner.
