The document discusses how the opening title sequence (OTS) sets up various films. For most films, the OTS introduces main characters, establishes the setting and tone, and creates narrative mysteries to engage the audience. Specifically, it establishes the small town setting and lighthearted tone for Forrest Gump through synchronous sound. It also builds tension through dark lights and music for The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.
