- Title sequences are used by Institutions to establish the company credited with producing and distributing the film along with the name of the film.
After watching 4 teen drama title sequences, I've noticed that larger budget movies such as Mean Girls and 10 Things I hate about you includes much more credits within the title sequences.

Mainstream - Lots of credits, names and positions that has been filled.
Independent - More production companies for low budget.
The contrast between the low budget movie and larger budget movie title sequences is that, a low budget movie's title sequence includes a smaller list of credits than a larger budget. Whereas a larger budget movie's list includes everyone involved in the process of making the movie.
However, with the low budget movies for instance My brother the devil and beautiful thing included various production companies within their title sequences. This is because they are categorised as Independent movies and need incorporation of many production companies to fund the movie. Whereas, a mainstream movie has a larger budget and can financially manage with one production company.
