Research into Order of Credits

I have been looking into opening title sequences to see the formation of how the credits are placed within the screen and the way they appear in which order. It was quite interesting to see how different films have different lengths and have different orders to what name they want to start and end with. I have researched the opening credit scenes to three films which include Drive, The Usual Suspects and Law Abiding Citizen.
Drive:

What I noticed in Drive's opening title sequence was that it had a continuous soundtrack that played throughout. Every credit/name would appear after each beat which worked very well and the writing was bright pink which contrasted to the dark background. I really like this opening and I think it has a nice structure to it.

It started with the big stars names, then continued with the names of the executive producers, producers and music etc. and ended with the directors name. Here is the order of it:

Ryan Gosling (then shows a MCU of him and the camera focuses on him throughout)

Carey Mulligan

The Usual Suspects:

This sequence also had a continuous soundtrack which was extremely relaxing. It also had a dark background and the credits were all in bright white.

This sequence had many names. It started with the production and studio company names and then continued with the actors names, leading to all the other main jobs/roles credits as well, and also ended with the director. I personally think it was too overcrowded with names and was quite boring.

Law Abiding Citizen:

I am looking at Law Abiding Citizen as it is relatively similar to our film and has the same similarities. This sequence is very different to the others as it only shows the studio and distributer names which I think works with this particular film as it builds tension. In this sequence the only music is the companies music and only lasts a few seconds each time.

Considering this film has quite a few of big names including Gerad Buttler, Jamie Foxx and Colm J. Meaney it is surprising that they haven't included any names. I do think that the short opening sequence does work well with the rest of the film.
