What are titles?

What are titles?

Titles are very regularly ignored by the average audience, although titles are often incorporated within the opening scene or shown at the end of a film. They are used to highlight key information such as the funding, making, and production of the film.

Here are the names and order that all 21 titles appear in:
Money

Directors name film
Main star

Title sequences can reflect the narrative, genre, time period, and tone of the film; through the use of fonts, transitions and pace. For example, in "The Pink Panther" titles are used creatively and effectively whereby they're incorporated into the animation, this sets the light-hearted yet mysterious tone whereby the Panthers actions represent some of the selected titles, such as when the Director of photography is shown, the Panther is shown to be having his photo taken. by incorporating actions into the opening title sequence, it reflects the comedic yet lighthearted genre and encourages the audience to carry on watching.
