The opening to The Others is very different to the conventional film opening but still has some similarities, as the first actor came after the distribution and production company titles. Whereas, the second actor came after the film title and then followed by 8 other actors . Also, in the title sequence we do not see the idents for both the distribution and production company which does not follow the conventional film title sequence.
