Why title sequences are important.

Title sequences are important because they help get the audience hooked and intrigued in the film they are about to see. A title sequence is a method by which cinematic films or television gives an exciting build up to what is to occur as the film progresses. Most title sequences from the 1950's were normally illustrated, for example the artist Saul Bass used illustrations for title sequences. In the film industry, the opening title sequence of a film is considered to be the most important and intriguing aspect in the film. Apart from the marketing of the films, the title sequences are the very first images the audience sees. The interesting clips last about two to three minutes long, in which the film maker's intentions are to get the audience interested and the suspense created.

Normally if the title sequence is good and builds up tension it means the film will be even better, the film director's main intensions is to impress the audience so their expectations of film are higher and makes them want to watch the film more.
