Quentin Tarantino's film Reservoir Dogs used a simple technique in the opening credits to introduce each of the nine characters - the characters were shown walking down the street with individual close-up shots and freeze frames displaying their character names. The 500 Days of Summer opening credits introduced the main characters in more depth and through an animated sequence of drawings and buildings related to the narrative. The Suicide Squad credits focused on displaying the production companies rather than character names, likely because the big-budget film's actors did not need additional exposure and revealing names could give away the plot. In general, independent films tend to focus more on introducing individual characters in the opening credits while larger films promote the production companies that funded the film instead of character names

2. Reservoir Dogs : Opening Titles
This was Quentin tarnation's first film, and
produced by an independent company. In
the film opening titles, we see a really
simple way to introduce all the characters.
9 men are walking down the street, the
camera then cuts to a close up to each
person and we see a freeze frame and the
name of the character is shown. I think tis
is a good way to introduce all the
characters, as it dose not give away the
whole narrative, but the character is
developed

3. 500 days of summer : Opening Titles
This opening Titles starts by
introducing the characters, we
learn much more about the main
protagonist and we see much more
of a character development. It then
cuts to an an animation sequence
of drawings with all the names of
the characters in the film, with
drawings of buildings and things
related to the narrative. This
establishes the location for the
film and hints to the audience the
atmosphere of the film or the
themes involved.

4. SUICIDE SQUAD : OPENNING CREDITS
In the title sequence, we don’t really see a an
introduction to the characters real name,
instead we just see a sequence of the
companies involved in making the film. This
may be because the actors are already big and
don’t need the exposure, or even if someone
needs to know an actors name they can just
Google it due to how big the film is. This
introduction is used as because these
companies are paying for the film, they want
all he exposure themselves.

5. ORDER OF TITLES
From my research, I can see that first comes the names of the
production companies and distribution companies that helped
fund the film, we then see names of the actors and the main
crew that helped out with the film. The last thing we see
before the films starts tends to be the directors name.

6. Conclusion: from my research I can gather, that independent films , in the
begging we see more of an opening credits and a focus on each character and
there real name, I think this is due to the fact because this film is more low-key,
it wants to promote each individual character in every aspect possible. However
in a big distributed film, with a big budget and in all the cinemas, the actors have
already been exposed enough to make it to the big budget film, or even they do
not want to give away the plot line or anything, as they probably want to create
an element od surprise when the audiences favorite character comes on to screen.
