What is an opening sequence and its conventions?

Daniella Benson

What is an opening sequence?In a motion picture, television program or video game, the opening credits are shown at the very beginning and list the most important

members of the production. They are now usually shown as text on a blank screen or static pictures,

or sometimes on top of action in the show. There may or may not be accompanying music. When opening credits

are built into a separate sequence of their own, the correct term is title sequence

for instance: the familiar James Bond and Pink Panther title sequences.
