An opening sequence is a way by which a film can be presented. It includes many features such as actors names, the film title, background music, company credits and title credits. It may also include the names of producers and directors. The overall concept for the opening sequence is to show the audience the films genre. This can be done in various ways but most commonly by the use of music, lighting and font.
We watched different opening sequences to compare the ways genre was presented through their individual styles. We also looked at the way each film interpreted the overall 'opening sequence'.
