Category:Title Sequence: Difference between revisions

The television equivalent of the illustration on a book cover. This is a sequence at the beginning of the show (but generally after [[The Teaser]]) It serves to let the viewer know what show he's watching. The [[Title Sequence]] is also called the "[[Opening Credits]]" or "Opening Sequence", though, strictly speaking,although they do not have to include any actual credits (like ''[[Citizen Kane]]'' and ''[[The Empire Strikes Back]]''). They do, however, always display the title of the program, usually in the form of a series logo (except in rare cases such as ''[[Batman: The Animated Series]]'' which never displays the title). For most shows, a [[Theme Tune]] is played during the sequence.

It may be of interest to note that [[Title Sequence|Title Sequences]]s are usually made by a separate, specialist, production company from the one that's actually making the show. ''[[Babylon 5]]'' is a rare exception whose production crew created the show's five [[Title Sequence|Title Sequences]]s entirely in-house.
