The document compares and contrasts title sequences and trailers in films. A title sequence uses continuity editing to show titles and credits in a linear fashion that provides context and foreshadows the film's plot. In contrast, a trailer is a short montage of nonlinear clips that communicates the film's genre and style to entice viewers without revealing the full plot. The main differences are that title sequences are longer and use continuity editing while trailers are very brief and made up of disconnected clips.
