Cost and equipment aside, the ultimate questions when
designing a main title sequence are, much like any other aspect
of a film, centered on theme, content and the viewer's desired emotional
response. Other than trailers and marketing elements seen prior
to a movie's release, titles are the very first images the audience
absorb after the lights go out. They form a kind of contract, outlining
the filmmaker's intentions and, for better or worse, setting up
expectations that the audience, almost subliminally, will demand
be met.
