An opening sequence is the first few minutes of a film. It gives an overall idea of what the film is going to be about and includes features such as titles, of the producers, makers and main actors. These are shown to give credit to the people who created the movie, and put all their time and effort into starring in it. They may also be shown as a form of advertising, for example if someone created a movie and the film is a huge hit people will know them by their name, and they may also be hired to create future movies. It is used because without it, the film would just be jumped straight in to. Opening sequences tend to include a soundtrack, this is played whilst the opening credits are shown, and the track usually fits in with the genre of the film, for example a horror would have dark gloomy music, and a chick flick will have up-beat pop songs.
