What i have learnt from these series of titles is that so many people go into the production of a film and there are so many areas to be covered. I also learnt that the few main characters are always the first actors shown on the screen and i also saw that an actor was shown before the director which was different. Another thing which i noticed was that the director was shown at the beginning and at the end.Overall i have learnt the basic structure of the titles and will input this into our film to make it look professional.
