2. The title of the movie will also appear in the
opening sequence, letting the audience
know what they are about to watch. The
opening clip may also have genre suited
music, which could be used to build up
atmosphere or tension for the first scene.
This also gives an insight as to what genre
the movie will be.

3. Names and perhaps images of the cast
and crew can appear in an opening title
sequence, although not all of the crew
will be listed here. Main actors and crew
members such as the producer and
director, amongst many others, will
appear at the beginning. The sequence
will also contain any production
companies.

4. A main setting will be introduced in the
opening sequence, along with one or
more characters. These characters are
sometimes the main roles, although there
could be other characters displayed.

5. The audience will be introduced to the
mise en scene, including
costumes, settings and props etc.
Editing will be apparent through the
opening sequence, either in the form of
a linear narrative or non-linear. This could
also contain a montage of shots from
different times and settings.

6. The sequence will include a variety of
shot types such as close ups to show
details, and master shots to show
everything within the scene. There should
be a range of different angles and
camera movements, all to help build up
the genre and give an insight into the
film.

7. The genre of the film should become
apparent in the sequence through
camera work, music, settings, colours
etc.
The sequence should also give an insight
to the film without revealing too much,
making the audience ask questions
throughout, as to what will happen next.
