What are the conventions of an Opening titles?
Opening titles are also known as an 'Opening Sequence.' In a title sequence the following things will be included:
- Production Company indents
- Main cast and crew names (including directors and producers. 6 minimum key actors)
- Typography/font style that matches the genre
- Music/soundtrack to fit the genre
- Setting of the movie
- SFX
- Transitions
- Writer and designer names
- Atmosphere
- Movie title
- Indie film reflects the genre
Title sequences are used in film and TV to acknowledge the work of the institution, cast and crew on a product. Opening titles are shown at the very beginning and list the most important members of the production. For example, in The Great Gatsby, the costume is highly credited. They are usually shown as text superimposed on a blank screen or on images or on top of the footage. Music can accompany music. Where opening titles are built into a separate sequence of their own, the correct term is title sequence.
