Ferris Bueller
The first thing we is paramount pictures the company that
distributed the film and the director and Writer John Hughes. Then
its tell you main actor playing Ferris Bueller then the films title By
looking at the intro it kind analyses the type of character Ferris as a
bit of a tricksters and sarcastic person as well as the film is going to
be a comedy or a bit of a family drama. While this scene it finishes
telling the supporting actor like Mia Sara. After it finishes talking
about the actors it talks about the music by people Ira Newborn and
the Casting team then finally who helped in final production like

Paul Hirsch the editor then people who help in post production like
the director of photographer or production designer.
Hot Fuzz
The first thing you see again is the distributer universal pictures and
associated companies like in this film Working Title and Studiocanal
then it gives a lot of rush information about the protagonist like
name, profession and achievements. It does something different
than Ferris Bueller because it seems to save the actors names and
post production team for the credits.
Rush hour
The first thing you see is the two main producers Arthur Sarkissian
and Roger Birnbaum then the director. After a panning shot it tells
the two protagonists Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker finishing with the
title. It starts to show the supporting actors in the movie. After all
the support actors it tells us some post production team like casting
directors, costume designers and production designers . Near the
end of the intro it talks about the producers and story designers.
Guardians of the galaxy
The first thing you see is the production company Marvel studios
then the director and main actors then support. After the title shows
up then the supervisor of effects, Caster, Executives producer
anyone one who helped in the opening and the end of production
then storyline.
