FILM OPENING TITLE 
CONVENTIONS
First clip- Citizen Kane 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RRa3qZ0_4ew
Conventions- 
 The conventions met for this opening are that 
they show the production logo, the title of 
the film and who the book/film is by. 
 However it then fails to show cast and other 
main producers of the film which goes 
against most stereotypes but if this was all 
shown it would take the enigma away from 
the opening itself
Second clip- The Book of Eli 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uPoRj-Fv4HI
Conventions- 
 In this film opening of The Book of Eli we see 
that the title is clearly shown to make it clear 
what the film is called, however it then 
doesn’t show us anymore text on screen for 
things such as producers, actor and the 
director this adds a sense of mystery because 
you don’t know who's in it or what to expect
Third Clip- Donnie Darko 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJ7Fz3m485s
Conventions- 
 The conventions shown In the opening scene 
of Donnie Darko meets those such as 
production name and company logo. As well 
as the directors name and overall title of the 
film . 
 However as like the other two films this film 
does not name main cast in the opening.
Conclusion 
 In conclusion I have found that most film 
openings of a wide range of genres show 
the title of the film as a must or people 
might not know what film they are 
watching, they also show company and 
production logos as brand recognition. 
Also they credit the director. Although 
they don’t include the main cast in many 
film openings which I find strange as I 
would have thought this brought in wide 
audiences when they see the names 
such as Leonardo DiCaprio or Tom 
Hanks.
