Conventions of an Opening Title Sequence

I believe the conventions of an OTS are as follows:

  • List the Distribution company or companies
  • List the Production company 
  • Credit Director
  • Credit Top billing Actors or actresses
  • Credit Producers or other major crew members
  • Show the title of the film
  • Set some form of atmosphere for the film
  • Introduce the audience to the story and some characters (even if the scene is as simple as the protagonist walking through rain.

  1. add visual pointers - still shots from films to illustrate - it is a good point to use voice thread or a talking head video
