Conventions of a Film Opening 


Music & Sound Effects - Builds and creates tension. it gives an indication of the mood and tone to the audience.

Imagery - this introduces various elements of the film such as characters, teasers from the plot, locations etc. which then provides a hook to engage the audience in order to encourage them to watch the entire film.

Genre - establishment of genre and pace is set through the means of the camera pace and enhanced through the use of music and imagery effects.

Titles - generally, the order goes as: producer's ident, distributer, directer, stars, other cast. However, this order can change; for example, if the film features a really sucsessfull star then they may be prioritised in order, or if the distributer has their own ident then that will be made apparent also.
