What titles are used in a title sequence?










In a thriller title sequence there are many titles used to show that it is an opening for a film.
Firstly, usually in a thriller opening sequence the audience sees the titles appear of the main star and then it is followed by the supporting actors names.
After the name of the stars, we see the job roles of a ‘photographer’ that makes each shot look like a picture, and then jobs like ‘art director’ or ‘set decorator’ who get the mise-en-scene ready with props and the setting.
Also, on the titles we see job roles like ‘assistant director’ and ‘assistant of the producer’ showing that they are there to help the main producers/directors. The texts of these roles are in a much smaller size than the main stars and producers/directors. After that there are the titles of the jobs associated with the music, like the workers of ‘ orchestrations’ and ‘music composer’.
Lastly, in bigger and bolder writing we see the titles with the names of the producers and directors, and the example of the titles are seen in the film ‘Kiss Me Deadly’.
Lastly, towards the end of an opening sequence you see the end of the titles and names, and begin to see an establishing shot of where the film is set.
