Opening credits or title sequence Explanation: "The presentation of the 'opening credits' (as an introduction to the audience about the film and including selected important members of the production) is known as the opening credits sequence; sometimes it is superimposed on the action, but often exists as static letters on a solid background; since the closing or end credits usually list the entire cast and production crew, the opening credits sequence is usually positioned to set the mood of the film, and sometimes even lacks any credits except the film's title; aka front credits or beginning titles."

| Reference: Recommended reading: Reference information: https://www.studiobinder.com/blog/movie-opening-credits/ "Opening credits are the names of the cast and crew, producers, studios, etc. that are displayed on-screen. These can be superimposed over an opening scene, over a black screen, or over a still background. "When these opening credits are given a standalone "sequence," or a series of shots created specifically to present them, we call that a title sequence. A title sequence is a part of a TV show or movie’s intro that is dedicated to crediting the cast and crew and displaying a title card. "A title card is a graphic that says the name of the movie. Some movies skip the opening credits, title sequence, or title card altogether. In other words, there are no hard and fast rules on this topic." |
