Graphics: Traditional Billing Order

According to Wikipedia, the order of names that appears at the beginning of a film is as follows:

1) Motion Picture Company (Ident)
2) Producer ("A _____ _____ Production")
3) Director (if prominent)
4) Starring Actors (Clara, Yasmina)
5) TITLE OF FILM ("De(i)fied")
6) Rest of Principal Cast
7) Other Significant Personnel (eg lighting supervisors)
8) Other Producers/Screenwriters etc.
9) Director (instead of before OR again)
10) FILM STARTS

As this is a small production, we of course do not have this many people working on our film, and so our billing list will be significantly shorter. Nevertheless, it will be important to stick to this order as much as we can to insure the maximum achievable degree of authenticity in our work.
