Codes and Conventions of Title Sequences
Title sequences usually have similar traits that run through most titles sequences and these are the following;
- The Director of the film firstly appears
- Names of stars within the film in order of status and gross of the film
- A small synopsis of the location and time era of film
- Acknowledgement of genre through audio and visual basics (enigma's)
- Particular films give a brief acknowledgement of narrative
By watching title sequences from films such as "Catch me if you can" and other iconic film titles such as "Se7en" I gathered that title sequences are crucial in giving the audience a brief snipet to the audience about the genre, characters and in some cases the story without giving too much away leading the audience wanting to watch the film more. Another importance of having a title sequence is the production behind the film are accounted for and therefore helps viewers undertand that the film has been directed by "x" and therefore make viewers unstand what type of traditional traits the film will posses.
