MAIN- POST 1- Conventions of an Opening Sequence

From looking at a couple of opening sequences of films I have worked out what the conventions are of most opening sequences. All opening sequences have text bringing up the most important peoples names, these are usually the most famous actors/actresses, producer and direct. The opening sequences usually have images or clips of the film and they are mainly little clips letting an in site on the film to the audience. Different genres of films will use different colour schemes for instance most horror films have a lot of black and grey colours to give a gloomy effect whereas family films and comedies are bright and colourful.  The last convention is music from watching the clips the title sequences include music this also goes with the genre of the film, action films having quite upbeat music whereas romantic films have soft acoustic music.

This is a comedy, alot of comdies have cartoon clips like this as there title sequence and have bright happy colours to reflect the genre through colour, the music was also happy bubbly music.

This is a horror film, a lot of horror films are very dark and gloomy with colours like grey and black, these are rarly in cartoon and mostly motion pictures to make it more realistic and scary
