There are three types of title sequence:
- Narrative Opening- A narrative opening is when a film begins with a story showing a new location and setting of the atmosphere, examples of a narrative is the movie Panic Room. This gives the audience the impression that a new story is happening, a new chapter and makes it easier to engage in the movie.
- Discrete title sequence- Miniature story: Using editing techniques that stand apart from the film opening. The 1998 hit, 'Enemy of the state', is a prime example of this. The opening seems to start really strong and aggressive by the hard music that follows in but during the end the pace slows down and it becomes more subtle than rough. It gives us a sense that the movie is going to be mixed with different type of genres.
- Stylised Editing: Sophisticated editing within the opening, leaving the audience seeing many possible interpretations of the shots. A movie that does this well is 'The taking of Pelham 123'.
