Title Sequence vs Trailer and What Titles

Movie Opening sequence
In a movie opening sequence it has to instantly grab your attention, creating an atmosphere that will draw the audience in. It will often be slower-paced, leading into the narrative of the movie. It will always have opening credits with backing soundtrack, to establish a 'certain mood' or 'tone.' Sometimes, when the opening credits are playing, an opening sequence will introduce the characters through shots of them or perhaps through the titles. An opening sequence will then often familiarise the viewer with the setting/establishing setting.

Movie Trailer
When coming across a move trailer, there will often be a voiceover, adding intensity to the trailer, story/plot. This will help persuade the audience to follow up and to go and watch the movie, to draw in a specific audience. A movie trailer will also include who is staring in the movie, as this will also draw in a wider audience, perhaps using a certain male character or female character. There is never any spoilers in the trailer, although if the genre is action then that will often show the majority of the good action bits; this could also apply to the horror genre as well. You will also find that the trailer will be fast- paced, giving an overview of the story/plot which creates tension for an audience.

What does a title sequence look like?

What titles?
When creating a film there must be titles of who put what into the film and these are normally shown at the end of the film but can sometimes be shown at the beginning. The less important titles are shown right at the end of the film and the most important titles are shown either at the beginning of the film or at the beginning of the end. For this research I watched the opening sequence to The Sixth Sense and then researched what some of these job titles meant. Some of the titles that are shown are:

-The prodcution company:
A company responsible for the development and physical production of new media, performing arts, film, radio or a television program. The company may also be directly responsible for the raising of funding for the production or may do through an intermediary.
-Who the casting was by:
In the performing arts, casting (or casting call) is a vital pre-production process for selecting a cast of actors, dancers, singers, models and other talent for a live or recorded performance.
-The music producer:
A record producer is an individual working within the music industry, whose job is to oversee and manage the production of an artist's music.
-Costume designer:
A costume designer is a person whose responsibility is to design costumes for a film or stage production. He or she is considered part of the "production team.''
-Who the film was edited by:
a person responsible for the editorial aspects of publication; the person who determines the final content of a text (especially of a newspaper or magazine)
-Executive producer:
An executive producer is a producer who is not involved in any technical aspects of the film making or music process, but who is still responsible for the overall production. Typically an executive producer handles business and legal issues. See also film producer, line producer.
