Definition; An opening sequence, also known as a title sequence is the method by which films or television programs present their title, key production and cast members, or both, utilizing conceptual visuals and sound. It usually follows but should not be confused with the opening credits, which are generally nothing more than a series of superimposed text.
Opening sequences are important as they are what draws the audience in. From a directors point of view, they have to consider many elements to make the opening sequence successful. Elements such as camera angle, lighting, colour, sound and text are important in making the opening sequence gripping and intriguing.
In the next few blog posts I will be analysing opening sequences of two different genres of film.
