Example: Scream
The opening title sequence to the film Scream(1996) is pretty simple. It only includes four out of a possible 21 credits. For example, it starts with the Distribution Company Logo 'Dimension Films'. It then is followed by the director Wes Craven, although this is usually put last. The stars are then included but, as it's the opening credits, only the main characters names are dropped in. Then it ends with the film title Scream and as this appears, a non diegetic scream can be heard and it is silenced with the brandishing of a knife. At the end of the credits, a non diegetic sound of a phone ringing then moves into digetic sound, as the establishing shot is of Casey answering the phone.
