3.What is the purpose of a title sequence and film opening?

(Quick summary)

A title sequence is the usually the bit before a film, where the film presents their main production team, cast and crew. It also helps to set the scene and tone of the film, allowing the audience to have a taste of what the film might be like and the genre. A title sequence could be just text, it could incorporate visual elements to attract the audience, as well as including the opening scene and actual footage or be a mini film in itself. The main characters are usually shown so the audience can gain an insight about their characteristics, and a sense of what their behavior is like. Opening scenes set the location of the film too, which suspends disbelief, making the audience believe they are actually in the film rather than watching.
Title sequences are used for professional reasons as well, to show the company name and copyright note, to make sure contracting of the film couldn't be violated and as a gate-keeping function for their font.
