Famous Opening Sequences

In this task, I had to do research into ten different famous opening sequences. In the photographs below you can see the outcomes of my research and the video links to the clips I have analysed: -

In this task I have learnt about the structure of an opening sequence. I now know that when composing an opening title sequence, the text on the screen must reflect the genre of film I intend to make. The typography is important because the colour and style of the font you use can give important connotations and give you an insight into the narrative of the film. 
I have found that a convention of opening titles is non-diegetic sounds like music and sound effects. For example, gun shots and fast-paced music are conventions of action films, and are often added in order to intensify and emphasise the notion of danger and to reveal some small parts of the narrative. Most opening sequences do give away parts of the narrative in order to give the audience an idea of what the film is about, but not too much away that the story becomes predictable. 
The opening that I liked the most from this task was Ferris Bueller's Day Off because it was entertaining, had a clear audience targeted and showed me enough of the film to know it was going to be fun and enjoyable to watch. However the opening sequence to The Shining by Stephen King was also very interesting because of the contrapuntal sound which left me wanting to know more and gave a foreboding atmosphere to the whole sequence.
