Codes and Conventions of An Opening Sequence

Here is some research into the codes and conventions of opening sequences. I have done this research to know exactly what I should include in my opening sequence.

One main thing used in opening sequences is titles. These are used to show to the audience what company made and funded the film. They are also used to show the audience some of the actor, producers, director and some of the key people that helped make the film. Thriller films, like the one I intend on making, often show the main characters as just being normal people to begin with in the opening sequence and then as the film progresses the audience can see that these people aren’t ordinary at all.
