Art of the title - Analysis of title sequence homework

The first title sequence I analysed is The Boxtrolls (2014).
The first thing I realised is the font size and style it is in, it is medium sized ,but it has a medieval feel to it  which links to the movie itself. The writing was mainly to the middle right hand side of the screen but sometimes appeared to be on the bottom right hand side of the screen.
Credits are major in this title sequence it is as follows
Directed by: Athony Stachi and Graham
 produced by: David Bleiman and Travis Knight
Screenplay by: Irena Brignull amd Adam Pava
 The biggest font credits were to the Lead animations: Travis Knight, Malcom Lamont, Jason Stalman , Daniel Alderson and Jeff Riley
It then tells you what the film is based upon in this case, its based on the book "Here be monsters" by Alan Snow

After this there is a number of names without titles so I am assuming they are voice overs for the cartoon characters.
Ben Knighly, Isaac Hempstead Wright, Elle Fanning, Dee Bradley Baker , Steve Blum, Toni Collette. After this I noticed the music as this point was cheerful and playful which confused me a little as the characters being shown in the background were much more scary. The characters in the background are giving a little outline of the movie plot.
I picked this sequence because it was a cartoon and most films are real life.

The second film I analysed is Game of thrones.


The music reminds me of a battle as it sounds very grand.

Actors

Peter Dinklage
Lena Headley
Nikolaj Coster
Michell Fairley
Aidan Gillen
Kit Harlington
Liam Cunningham and many more actors.
All names on the screen are big in a slim font and in the background I can see a map of some sort which I believe the plot could be based.
More names are involved this time its the people behind the camera.

Casting by Nina Gold
Costume design by Michelle Clapton
Music by Kamin Diawadi
Editor: Francis Parker
Production designer: Gemma Jackson

Co executives: George R.R Mortin, Vince Gerardis, Alan Taylor and Vanessa Taylor
Produced by Bernodette Caulfield
executive produced by Frank Doelger, Carol Strauss.
 The second to last thing we see on screen is the film title in big bold font but the last thing on screen is written by David Benion & D.B Weiss.
I believe this film had a huge budget due to the amount of credits it has from the actors to the producers  and execs.
