task 9 Title Sequences





Title Sequences
A title sequence is a method by which films or TV programs present their title, key production and cast members, art visuals and sound. Title sequences can be engaging and wildly entertaining and  funny. The very best title sequences succeed in putting the audiences in the right mood for the movie. The titles are always included saying the name of the film. 
They are often designed in a way that represents the film they are starting off.
When opening credits are built into a separate sequence of their own, the correct term is title sequence. Opening credits since the early 1980s, if present at all, identify the major actors and crew, while the closing credit list an extensive cast and production crew.
