The document discusses different elements that appear in film opening sequences and their purpose and effect on audiences. It explains that company names are prominently displayed to acknowledge their role in financing the film. Actor and actress names are also highlighted to promote interest in the film based on favorite stars. The film title appears later and is prominently displayed to inform audiences of the name. Background elements can provide clues to the film's genre and setting. Text treatment and positioning are used to signify the importance or lack thereof of certain names.

2. The company’s names who help produce the film are always going to be the most recognisable and bold in the opening
sequence. The text is all in capital letters which symbolises the importance of the company’s as without their financial
input, the film would have not been created. Although the text is the main focus of the photo, the background still is
showing the audience about what the film is going to be about and where the film is going to be set. This has an effect
on the audience as it makes the audience aware of the company’s that created the film and makes the audience aware of
films that are created by certain company’s. This links in with the genre of the film as the audience are aware of the
surroundings and idea of the film due to the opening sequence’s hints.

3. Famous actors and actresses names are highlighted in the opening sequence for several reasons. One of
the main reasons being to show the audience who is stared in the film and perhaps to make the audience
want to watch the film due to some of their favourite actors that are staring in the film. The text stands
out from the background to highlight the importance of the actors roles within the movie. This has an
effect on the audience as it makes them question the actor or actresses significance in the role they are
going to play. This links in with the genre of the film as it makes the audience feel at tense as they do not
yet know about why these names are being put onto the opening sequence.

4. The film title appears towards the end of the opening sequence. The title is very bold and looks very shiny and
translucent. The film title is one of the main things that needs to be included in an opening sequence as it shows
the audience what the film is going to be called. The text is surrounded by tall buildings which could be telling the
audience that the film is going to be surrounded by tall buildings due to the setting of the film being New York.
This links in with the genre of the film as it shows the audience about the idea of being trapped in a town and
being suffocated by the tall buildings.

5. Having two titles on one shot shows the lack of importance these two people have with the film. The titles are very
dark and start to blend into the buildings towards the end of their names. The metal colour could be symbolizing that
these two names are not important to the storyline of the film. This has an effect on the audience as it makes the
audience think that these people are not important and they should not take an interest into what their names are
doing on the opening sequence. This represents the genre of the film as it shows that characters may be in the
background lurking but they should not pay attention to them.
