credit sequence
Names before film
A credit sequence is the portion of a film or television program that lists the people involved in its production.
The opening credits typically appear at the beginning, identifying principal cast and key crew, while end credits roll after the conclusion with a comprehensive list.
Some productions have become famous for creative credit sequences that incorporate animation, music, or stylized design: The Bond films are known for their elaborate opening credit sequences.
