4 types of title sequences

Titles on a blank screen.
Low budget and simple with a clear font stylised to fit in with the film. This type of opening to a film doesn't give anything story-wise to the audience and are usually considered boring as the audiences have to sit through and are forced to read the credits.






Titles using animation.
This type of title sequence is usually high budget as it requires a team and staff to actually animate the opening to the film. This is my favourite type of title sequence to watch as i always find them interesting since the possibilities with using animation is endless. I find it even more entertaining and interesting when it is used for a non-animation film as the title sequences stands out more and is unique to the rest of the film.




Titles with images moving.
This type of title sequence makes it possible for the intro to go straight into the movie itself. It's possibly the most informative out of the 4 types when it comes to telling us about the story as it captures the action of possibly the characters, scenery or whatever else is going on which can gives us hints as to what to expect.




Titles with still images.
These are similar to the titles on a blank screen, except for the screen actually being blank, there's a still image in the background which can usually show off the setting of the film or even gives us hints or clues using objects for mystery films etc.
