Conventions of an film opening

In today's lesson, we've been introduced to different types of structures to film opening. 

Basically there are 3 main types; the discrete title sequence, the title sequence where the titles appear over a black screen, following that the film begins, and the title sequence which then shows over the beginning of the film. We have also learned that film openings usually introduce the production company, as well as the introduction of the distributors company logo, as they regularly show a title sequence, so the mood and tone of the film is distinguished through the use of music and sounds etc.. 

Also discrete title sequences are individually edited sequences which are different from the film opening. They usually have a distinctive style and are heavily edited, as they carry the film title and almost all of the opening credits. An example of this would be as it doesn't actually have a storyline or images to make it obvious to the audience. However the opening may have random pictures which may relate to the actual film, but this is unsure. Although the credits and cast names still remain constant. This is clearly shown in the film "Se7en". This on the other hand leaves the audience clue-less of why these specific pictures are being shown, as well as the unknown narrative which creates the convention of a discrete title.
