films or television programs present their
title, key production and cast members, or
both, utilizing conceptual visuals and sound.
It typically includes (or begins) the text of
the opening credits, and helps establish the
setting and tone of the program’’

capture peoples interest

4. Title sequence: Goodfellas
• Fast paced. Shows that it will be exciting.
• Text (as text moves off screen, car noises are heard) the car
noises show that this film will involve something similar.
• All actors names flash up on screen. Showing the cast brings
more fans as people go to see certain films for the actors who
are in them.
• White writing against a black background makes it stand out
more and makes the writing easy to read as it is only on
screen for a short amount of time.
• Gives date and location that the film is set which makes it
more realistic.
