Within our chosen genre for our title sequence there will be conventions very much like other films in this same genre. Film title sequences i will look into are Hell Or High Water, Forest Gump and Whiplash.
Whiplash ; in this short title sequence the audience see only a black screen backed up by various shapes, mostly rectangles and circles, and then secondly the credits. This heavy use of rectangles and circles is clearly symbolism of the music narrative, in more detail, drumming narrative involving main up and coming star Miles Teller. The rectangles used clearly connote to me the drum stick lifestyle almost and the coloured circles the actual drums. Like below the clearest example of the drum stick connotation is in the first title we see - "Presented by Sony Pictures"
Hell or High Water ; in my second title sequence I've looked into this isn't a very conventional sequence. In the sequence the audience are presented with the main credits and the first scene were presented. This scene is the bank which is originally robbed by the two main characters. So anyway, in David Mackenzie's Hell or High Water, the only things the audience are presented with are the credits, a sets and setting establishment and the establishment with the two main characters we suspect are the robbers in the car.
Lastly, Forest Gump (1994) shows the audience, through the tracker of the feather through the air, the park / bus setting which the film will eventually end up. Also, the main character played by Hanks pulls out his briefcase holding life items he's kept hold of throughout his life. Therefore when watching this film for a second time you understand what the objects are about and what part of the films narrative they're from.
