What is an opening sequence and why is it so important?
A opening sequence is the method used by films or television programs present their title, key production and cast members, or both, using both visuals and sound.
Opening credits have been used since the 1980's, they are used to identify the major actors and crew in the film or television program where as the closing credits are just a list of the rest of the cast and production team.
Opening credits can be considered by many people to be the most important part of the film because they are the first images or sounds the audience sees, it is what brings the audience into the film. If the opening sequence was rather dull with no excitement it will not catch the audience's eye. Although they are quick clips from about 2-3 minutes long it outlines the producers intentions and sets up the expectations for the audience who are watching the film.
