A good beginning must make the audience feel that it doesn’t know nearly enough yet, and at the same time make sure that it doesn’t know too little". This means that the role of the beginning of movie is to capture the attention of audience but not give too much of the movie away.
there are four main categories of title sequences:
- titles on a blank screen
- titles on still images
- titles over moving images
- titles using animations or motions
title sequences were originally created to show the audience who produced and distributed the film for copyright purposes. not long after they began to show the names of the starring actors from the film in the title sequence and ever since they have developed into key parts of the film which can tell a story before the film has even begun.
Director Jean Jacques says that "the risks of instant arousal might give all the excitement at the beginning and has nothing to compare it with". if the opening is gives away too much and excites the audiences there is a chance that they may not want to watch the rest of the film.
