There are FOUR
main types of title sequences:
Titles on a blank screen:
This was the most common type of title sequence. It involves different kinds of typeface (usually in white) on a black background to create a high contrast. It was used a lot because it was cheap to make and was simple to include information on.
Titles on still images:
This is more elaborate rather than simple. Title cards are developed to include hand drawn borders and images and the credits are longer as more than just the name of film makers are included. This type combines different media in order to make the background.
Titles over moving images:
Incorporates credit titles with a moving image behind them with sound but generally no dialogue. This type offers either a metaphor, story line and narrative thread for films to help introduce the tone.
Titles using animation or motion:
This type grew popular in the late 1990s. Titles became part of the moving images and integrated with the images we see. However, it requires a lot of digital technology and stylized editing in order for it to be successful.
