The three title sequences all began by listing the production companies involved. They then introduced the top billed actors and listed the remaining cast. Each sequence concluded by listing the director at the end. However, they differed in their use of footage. Skyfall's sequence contained no film footage and used symbolism. Insidious showed limited footage and only graphic designs for credits. World War Z incorporated film footage to establish something was going wrong and hinted at the plot.

1. What is a title sequence?
A title sequence is the method by which films or television programs portray the name of the
production companies who helped with the film, the directors name, the producer, the
executive producer, the top billing actors and lastly, the movie title and with this, can include
conceptual visuals and sound.The title sequence, helps establish the setting, genre and
characters to the audience.This can be done with action, animation, music, still images and
graphics.Title sequences usually last from 2 – 5 minutes long and some title sequences can
start with just the credits and some can occur with the film beginning but credits during it.

The face is then made clearer and it

fuzzy to scare the audience.

8. After, the top billing actors are listed, due to being a

Then, is another scenery of
loads of houses crowded all

character.The footage in which the names are next to, is set in America.

times to just show the audience that it is every day to day life.There is use of sound which
is from the news but there are loads going on top of each other to give the atmosphere of
busyness and rush hour.
There are then more actors being listed
and a plane flying off.The reason that the
actor are not close to the first actors, is
because they are not the top billing.
There are then clips fromTV shows
such as news and morningTV
interviews.

The title sequence uses a range of split

audience more of the news.
The main focus now in the title
sequence are animals and their
behavior.

15. More crew members are still listed. The title sequence is now referring to
