The document provides a template and example for film opening titles and credits, using the film Juno as an example. It lists the style, length, font, colors, animation, and placement of the opening titles. It then provides a table with 25 lines to list the title, credits, timing, and details for each title card or credit. The example from Juno shows the main character walking through her neighborhood, passing various locations, until ending up in a drug store. The template is meant to guide documenting the specific design and sequencing of titles and credits for a film.
