what titles?

Title Sequences
During a title sequence a lot of things are included. these include, different job roles, actors names and logos of companies that support the film. There are many job roles within the production of a film. For example a producer. The producer makes sure that everything is up to a good standard and that they are happy with the outcome of the film to ensure the film makes a profit. Another example of one of the jobs included in film making is the casting agent, this person decides what actors play what roles within the film. Costume design designs the costumes and makes them for every actor, through the use of costumes the audience could will get a lot of clues about each character and the film, just by what they're wearing. The composer for the film creates all the music for the film, this is important as it helps to further emphasise a message or representation of a character or scene. An editor edits all the footage that's been filmed and decides what order the footage is going to go into to make the film run smoothly and effectively. The production designer makes the set for each scene, this could further give clues as to what the film's about and also when the film is supposed to be set. The most important job role is the director. The director decides what everyone has to do in the scene and make sure the filming runs smoothly. Furthermore, the roles are presented on screen in order from least important to most important, this is why the director often comes last. however, not every film has the same ranking of importance for job roles, for example in one film the composer could be one of the most important job roles, where as in other films it could be one of the least.

In addition, the distribution companies appear with the titles on screen, there logo appears as well. They appear at the beginning of the title sequence. A lot of the time there is also music playing in the background, the music used could be written by the composer or be music from one of the distribution companies. An example of a title sequence that includes all of these features is 'Catch me if you can'. This makes this particular title sequence very effective as all the features give clues as to what the films about but it also tells them the key information about the production of the film.
