What is a title sequence

A title sequence is the what films or television programs use to present their title, production team and cast members, or both, this is usually shown on screen with some visual effects and sounds. It usually follows but should not be confused with the opening credits, which are generally nothing more than a series of forced text. Television has become a huge part of people's everyday lives which lead to more and more people staying at home rather than visiting the theatre. This pushed film makers to reinvent film media. Later on, film makers and title designers elaborately designed titles hoping to grab the attention of audience before the film had even started. 


  

 






The James Bond title sequence is one of my favourite.This is purely because of the creativity behind the different fonts used and the creativity of the title sequence as a whole. The sound and visuals go together as the theme song is played.I believe the quality of the title sequence sets the tone of the movie in terms of what to expect. When I say this I mean if the title sequence looks interesting and exciting,the audience know that they are in for a good interesting film,simply because the title sequence has set the tone.

Title sequences have changed over the years,starting from simple cards with words on it, to large amounts of animation and sound aswell as visual effects used .This is used to interest the audience aswell as give the entire cast behind the production some recognition.
