Hey, I know credits are at the end of the film, But I know that "Credits" is not the official term for showing names of actors at the begining of a movie. What is the proper term for that. Some people say "Opening Credits" but its not the official term.

Anyone know?

Also, Anyone want to add other movie terminology that the average person may not know.


thanks.

Interesting googlific thing I stumbled across. I think it's a simple as "Opening" or "title" credits. Of course, correct me if I'm wrong.

I usually refer to "titles" at the beginning and "credits" at the end.
