Purpose of a Title Sequence

What Is The Purpose of a Title

Sequence?

• THERE ARE MANY THINGS AND REASONS WHY PEOPLE INCLUDE A TITLE SEQUENCE AT THE VERY BEGGING OF THEIR MOVIE.

• ONE REASON COULD BE IT GIVES THEM A CHANCE TO SHOW ALL THE DIFFERENT STUDIOS AND COMPANIES THAT HELPED IN ITS PRODUCTION.

• THIS IS A GREAT WAY TO GIVE RECOGNITION TO ALL THOSE STUDIOS AND NOTIFY THE AUDIENCE WHICH COMPANIES HELPED IN THE MAKING OF THE FILM THEY ARE ABOUT TO WATCH.

• STUDIO’S LIKE “UNIVERSAL”, “WARNER BROS”, “FOX SEARCHLIGHT” AND “WALT DISNEY” ARE GREAT EXAMPLES OF VERY WELL KNOWN FILM PRODUCTION COMPANIES.

Film Companies

• ANOTHER REASON COULD BE THAT IT LETS THEM NOTIFIES THE AUDIENCE ABOUT THE ACTORS, DIRECTORS AND CREW MEMBERS THAT TOOK PART IN THE FILM’S PRODUCTION.

• THIS CAN BE VERY USEFUL AS KNOWING THE ACTORS IN THE FILM CAN EXCITE AND KEEP THE AUDIENCE INTERESTED.

• KNOWING THE CAST AND CREW CAN ALSO BUILD A SORT OF EXPECTATION FOR THE MOVIE WHICH CAN BE BOTH A GOOD THING AND A BAD THING DEPENDING ON HOW WELL THE FILM WAS MADE, AS THE AUDIENCE MAY RECOGNISE THE PEOPLE AND THEY’RE WORK AND SUBCONSCIOUSLY MAKE AN EXPECTATION FOR THE FILM BEFORE EVEN WATCHING IT.

Tone and Mood• THE TITLE SEQUENCE CAN ALSO SET THE OVERALL TONE AND

MOOD OF THE FILM.• THIS HELPS NOTIFY THE AUDIENCE THE KIND OF ATMOSPHERE

AND OR GENRE OF FILM THAT THEY’RE ABOUT TO WATCH.• WEATHER IT’S GOING TO BE A CREEPY AND SCARY HORROR

FILM LIKE “THE CONJURING“ OR AN ACTION SCI-FI LIKE “PACIFIC RIM”.

• ALTOGETHER IT REALLY GIVES THE AUDIENCE A SORT OF SMALL GLIMPSE OR INCITE INTO THE KIND OF FILM THAT THEY’RE ABOUT TO WATCH.

• A TITLE SEQUENCE CAN ALSO SOMETIMES SET UP THE OVERALL NARRATIVE OF THE FILM AS IT MAY INTRODUCE SOME OF THE MAIN CHARACTERS

• IT MAY ALSO SHOW AND INCLUDE SO KEY ASPECTS OF THE FILM OR SHOW SOME SIGNIFICANT OBJECTS OR PEOPLE IN THE MOVIE.

• TITLE SEQUENCES CAN ALSO SET UP OR EXPLAIN THE MAIN PLOT OF THE MOVIE AND GIVE SOME DETAILS OR FORESHADOW WHAT’S GOING TO HAPPEN.

Narrative

• LASTLY THE TITLE SEQUENCE ULTIMATELY COMES DOWN TO SHOWING THE AUDIENCE THE TITLE OF THE MOVIE ITSELF.

• WEATHER IT’S AT THE VERY BEGGING OR THE VERY END OF THE TITLE SEQUENCE, THE TITLE OF THE ACTUAL MOVIE IS PRESENTED AND SHOWN TO THE AUDIENCE TO NOTIFY THEM ABOUT THE NAME OF THE FILM THEY ARE ABOUT TO WATCH.
