- The purpose of a film opening

The purpose of a title sequence and film opening is to set the expectation for the film itself. A film opening is there to introduce the genre of the film at first using one of the four different types of film opening. A title sequence can also give clues about the plot as well as hinting key points about the storyline without giving to much away. All of this is very important because the audience has to be gripped and feel like they are no where else - they should be fully immersed in the film via the title sequence.
