Differences

The difference between Hollywood and British Independent title sequences is that due to its independence, BI have funding from all sorts of companies e.g. Film4, Yorkshire Screening etc. The beginning credits must mention all of the associative companies involved as its part of the contract of funding. Hollywood has very little funding in the fact that the cast references come in very quickly- there's a strong focus on the actors and producers, as they are the most important. Whereas for the UK, the film wouldn't have been created without the financial help from film company funding, so it's key they are mentioned first.
