Opening Title Section

This blog post will explain what exactly a Opening credit and a title sequence is to the people who don’t understand fully of what they are, and how they are different.

The purpose for an opening credit is for the audience or viewers to see which company or studio conducted the film they are viewing. They can also see the stars and cast who played in the film they watched . They are sometimes displayed on a blank screen to an opening scene or film, or is displayed when an action has begun immediately. It is simply a signal to show that the film has started or finished.

A title sequence is very different from an opening credit. A sequence title is a method in which a program presents the title and production and cast members with sound and movement in the opening. The main purpose for a title sequence is to engage the audience to hint on what the show or movie is about. It could be a television show, movie, cartoon, anything related to film. The difference between the both is that an opening credit is to introduce the stars and producers and studios of the film itself and a title sequence is created to present shot series specifically. Some techniques that can be employed in an opening sequence are the credits on a blank screen when the film starts, the narrative, the names of the star actors and actresses being introduced, and the personal character they portrayed. The main purpose is to get the audience attention to focus on the screen and to enjoy. The techniques are usually an introduction to the characters or the studio/company that made the film themselves, and also the director and producer of those films as well. All of these dynamic techniques are all used for the viewers attention and for it to direct the main tone of the film also.
