Title Sequences

Title Sequences are always found at the start of a film, informing the audience on who has been involved in the making of the film. However sometimes an introduction of the film will be shown before the title sequence to interest the audience first. There is normally a rough order that the names and Film Roles are in. For example normally at the start of the sequence it will have the Production company name, along with the logo. This will then be followed by "A film by", which will then be followed by "Starring". This is where any main actors will be presented. Other film roles will include "Music by", "Costume Designer", "Edited by", "Director of Photography", "Screenplay by", "Produced by, and finally "Directed by". It is very common that the producer and director are named at the end of the sequence as they are seen as the most important people involved in the making of a film.

A prime example of a good title sequence is "Se7en", as shown below.
