PURPOSE OF FILM OPENINGS

_________________________________________________

The credits at the start of a film or programme introduce roles, including famous actor/actress,director, writer and other main cast. The opening credits can be shown in several different ways, but usually they are shown with a background soundtrack/audio music and an opening of a scene or piece of the film. This piece of film usually sets the scene to the movie and gives the audience a taster of what the movie is going to be about. Opening titles are extremely important because they also draw the audience into the movie.
