A title sequence is the method by which film credits production and 
cast members utilizing visuals and sound. 
The opening credits of motion pictures list the most important 
members of the production and they are either superimposed on a 
blank screen or over a scene or action. There may or may not be 
accompanying music. 
The aim of an opening sequence may be to establish the 
characters, setting, genre, mood or atmosphere.
Name of production companies 
Director 
Producer 
Executive producer 
Top billing actors 
The film title
Here are a range of world famous 
distribution companies. However 
the pictures don’t represent how 
they would be portrayed in an 
opening title sequence. For example 
Warner Brothers and Dream Works 
Pictures would be presented in the 
opening credits like so -
Here are a range of 
famous actors who 
would have contracts 
with the opening 
title sequence 
production company 
for their name to be 
listed first.
Initaly the film title 
should come towards 
the beginning of the 
opening title 
sequence so that it 
doesn’t get mistake 
of a trailer. Also the 
title always tends to 
trend in the middle 
of the screen, nicely 
clear and visible to 
the viewer.
