ANALYSIS OF TITLES WITHIN OTS
Order of titles
Every film you see is usually seen in an running order, the order is very simple, clear so the audience can read the names of Directors, Actors, etc.Even more so the order is short because you do not want to get bored and uninterested in a film right from the beginning with 5-10 minutes of credits showing who is in the film, that is why it's very basic and only shows the more well-known , important people at the beginning. The order usually comes at the very beginning of a film but however could show again at the end of the film with the credits.
Here is an example of a title sequence at the end of the film(STAR WARS - DEATH OF STARS)

Our title is called 'ARCANUS' which means mysterious in Latin. We used this because our film is based on a detective who is exploring, and trying to discover the killer's stronghold. The use of flashbacks create this sensitive, uncomfortable atmosphere for the audience.
