Running Order/Layout of My Opening Sequence


Now I have decided on my production companies, titles I want to use, created shot lists and a storyboard, I am nearly ready to film.

Once I have my footage I want to be able to edit shortly afterwards, so I have put together a rough running order of elements of my opening sequence.

The key is as follows:
Logos
Protagonist
Title Cards
SFX/SOUND
Antagonist
Both Characters
