Typically, an opening sequence will contain:
- Details of cast and crew.
- The film's title.
- An introduction to character or character type.
- Indication of place.
- Indication of historical period.
- Information regarding mood and tone.
- Introduction to signature theme tune.
- Information about genre
- Questions that the viewer finds intriguing (sets up enigmas)
- Patterns and types of editing that will be echoed in the remainder of the film.
- Mise-en-scene and cinematography that will be echoed or elaborated upon later in the film.
When looking at these codes and conventions, the basic fundamentals of a pre title sequence is to give the audience a little taster of what the film will be about and the themes that will carry on throughout the film. The pre title sequence is also to let you you know who directed the film and who is casting in it, it also lets you know producers and who helped make the film. When i come to make my own pre title sequence i will pay extremely close to attension to theses codes and conventions as these are gonna be the basis to my plan.
