Title Sequence

A title sequence can be used for many things such as:

• Introducing the film
•  Giving the audience an insight of the genre/ sub genre of the film
• Giving the location of setting of the film
• Warning us whats about to start, so part of the plot of the film
• Giving information of the tone of the film as well as the style and pace
• The time period of the film
• Title sequences also often have part of the theme tune of the film in them

The title sequence also often shows the actors in the film as well as the direct and other crew members that helped create the film. 

An example would be the Skyfall trailer, this trailer gives away quite a lot of the plot of the film e.g. the theme tune of the film written by Adele is played in the title sequence and the lyrics say " we will stand tall together at skyfall" . Skyfall is the name of the house where James bond lived as a child and is also the place where a large fight scene occurs in the film therefore the lyrics of the song directly link in with the plot as the connote something will happen at 'skyfall' which also gives away he location where part of the film is based.Another link is the naked women in the title sequence as it suggest there will be an intimate scene in the film. The title sequence shows fire which is linked to the end of the film where Skyfall is burnt down.
