Why are opening title sequences important to the film industry?
Opening title sequences are important to the film industry because the first few minutes of the film are what the viewer sees first, and sets their expectations for the rest of the film. These are important because if it is not a very good opening the viewer may lower their expectations and may not want to watch the film, but if its a successful opening then it will keep the viewers interested.
Saul Bass once said, "making a main-title was like making a poster, you're condensing the event into this one concept, this one metaphor, a back-story that needs to be told or a character that needs to be introduced."
I researched on the internet and found a site that helped me understand why opening title sequences are important.
