What is a title opening sequence?

The title opening sequence is the method that cinematic films and television programmes present their title, key production and cast members. Also utilizing conceptual visuals and sound. The title sequence should not be confused with the opening credits, as this is usually nothing more than a series of superimposed text. In class we have been told to do some research on Soul Bass and Alfred Hitchcock. I will be uploading my research about them in due course.
