4 different types of film openings

The 4 different types of film openings are:

• Titles on blank screen 

- Usually a white text on a black background with a clear font

- Common, as it low budget 

-This is a simple way of presenting the beginning of a film

  

• Titles on a still image 

- More elaborate ( a move past text to incorporate text with visual image)

-Clear and readable. 

• Titles over moving images 

- Titles, sound and usually no dialogue and moving images 

-Shows a narrative beginning 

- Introduces the tone, story-line and the theme 

• Titles using animation or motion

- Integrated with the images that we see.

-Lots of digital technology and stylized in post production 

My 2 favorite 'type'  of title sequence:

1. Titles with moving images 

I think that this type of title sequence is really effective because it gives the audience an idea of the story-line and it also sets a clear tone and atmosphere, therefore it creates an expectation. In addition its more realistic, compared to the other type of title sequences. 

2. Titles using animation or motion  

I also like this type of title sequence because i find it that its really creative and quite interesting as all the animation and graphic that they do or relate to the movie, but its done in a really intelligent. This title sequence doesn't give too much information but it gives you a small idea. I does what the title says
