2. Opening film credits
• In a motion picture, television program or video game, 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 superimposed 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

4. HISTORY OF FILM CREDITS
• Up until the 1970s, closing credits for films usually listed only
a reprise of the cast members with their roles identified, or
even simply just said "The End," requiring opening credits to
normally contain the details.
• Some opening credits are presented over the opening
sequences of a film, rather than in a separate title sequence.
• Most Disney films released between 1937 and 1981 had all the
film-related information in the opening credits, while the
closing consisted only of the credit "The End: A Walt Disney
Production". However, Mary Poppins was the first Disney
film to have longer closing credits.
