A title sequence is a scene or a sequence of scenes shown at the beginning of a film. This is used to show the names of cast members and production team; this is not to be confused with the ending credits. These titles are normally superimposed over a scene, allowing the text and the scene to be viewed clearly. Title sequences help to build up the story plot or show a crucial moment, building up anticipation and atmosphere. They act as an establishing shot.
A Trailer is a composed montage of scenes edited with cuts. Trailers allow the viewer to get an insight of what the story line and genre are. This entices the viewer to watch the whole film. In addition to this film trailers are usually much shorter than title sequences, so that they can be advertised in between programs or before movie showings in cinemas.
