Categorizing Title Sequences

1. Discrete title sequences - separately edited sequences that are apart from the film. It is like a mini film before the film, it helps to get the audience into the mood of the film. 

2. Narrative openings - the title sequence comes together with the narrative of the storyline. Example: 'The Shining'


3. Credits over a blank screen - this the of title sequence simply consists of a blank screen and the credits coming up.

4. Stylised editing - this is a heavily stylised film opening with amazing editing. Example: 'Mezrine'
