Opening Credits Order - SciFi

As I practice social-distancing, I have been watching a lot of movies and learning a variety of things from them, pertaining to this project. One thing I have noticed as I watch all these movies is that the order of the credits always varies. I know I have to include:
  • Writer
  • Director
  • Producer
  • Cinematographer
  • Editor
  • Actors
  • Music
What I do not know exactly is how to order the credits for my genre, especially because I've seen so many varieties.

As I googled around, I came across this article on a website that I had already cited when talking about color theory. It's titled "The Ultimate Guide to Film Credits Order Hierarchy".  I thought it would be very general, and may not relate to my genre, but they used the opening credits from Back to the Future as the example and laid out the order of the credits from that. 
As it is from my genre, I will be using this opening as a model for the credit order in my film opening. I have also decided on the font that will be standard for all of the credits: MADE Tommy by MADEType available for download on dafont.com
