Analysis of the order of title sequences in a High school drama vs. Youth Drama


As we can see, both films had a more or less equal amount of titles. What we need to look at is the order they appear in:

In the opening titles for High school Dramas "Slackers" and "10 Things I hate About You", there are a significantly longer titles - almost the whole crew, along with the main cast. Almost everyone who is important to the movie is credited at the beginnings of these two movies, which could possibly help the audience understand it better, as they might recognise a few people in them who have previously been praised for their work etc.

However, in the Youth Dramas titles from "Kidulthood" and "Submarine", we only actually see 2 titles in the opening sequence. For "Kidulthood", the rest of the titles (which are the cast) come at the end of the narrative, which are then followed by the ending credits. Similarly, in "Submarine", the rest of the titles come in the ending credits of the movie. This could be due to the fact that these types of films are generally more supported by Independent film company, as opposed to the High school dramas.
