Conventions of a title sequence

The main convention of a title sequence is to introduce the film, and tell the audience/viewer who is starring in the film and who the main people involved in creating the film are. This is to show the viewer all of the different roles that people had in the build up in creating this film, and how many different roles and responsibilities there are when creating a film. They try to give a brief understanding of what the film will be about, without giving away too much information about the film, leaving a sense of mystery keeping a viewer interested and asking questions. This is a key convention because if the viewer is not interested after seeing the title sequence, they may not watch the film, as they do not feel interested by it after seeing making it an unsuccessful title sequence. It is important that an opening sequence leaves the viewer asking questions because that means there is a sense of mystery and questions are being asked about the film as the viewer will want to know what is going to happen next, or what has already happened depending on the situation that the characters we can see are in.
