Opening Titles
At the start of every film there are always opening titles. These titles are the names of the important people who played a big part in the making of the film, whether they were behind, or on the set. A title will often include the job name and the person’s name of who it was by. For example; "Make-up by Sarah Smith." Some films have lots of titles, and others only mention a few. However many a title a film has, doesn’t affect one title, this title features in every film made, and is usually the last in the list to appear. This title is the "Director" it is shown in every film as it is the most important role in the making of the film. Some examples of film titles are the following:
Paranormal ActivityThere are no opening titles in any of the paranormal activity films. Only a note before any footage, thanking the family and police station.
