Here is the conventional title sequence for the opening of a film;

-Production Company ident/logo
-Production Company (as part of sequence)
-Other Production Companies
-Distributors
-(Famous Actors)
-Film Title
-Actors/Cast
-Casting
-Costume
-Music Supervisor
-Music
-Edited By
-Production Designer
-Exec Producers
-Exec producers
-Director

When we had to look at the conventions for openings of films I realise that  where actors came in the sequence depended on how well there are known by the audience, I think this is done to wheel in the audience cause once the audience knows that their favourite  actors are in the movie they will be interested. Also I have noticed that most titles mirror the idea of the film. I think because we are doing thriller most people might put their title in red or have it looking scary.
