The purpose of the title sequence is to introduce the film to the audience. It introduces the film to the audience, lets them know the genre/sub-genre, gives information about the location and setting, introduces the characters to the audience, and it can also be a clue to the period that the film is set in. The title sequence is to warn the audience that the film is about to start, and gives them vital information, such as who the film is starring and who it is directed by.
The title sequence that I have chosen to analyze is the 2004 film, "The Incredibles".
"The Incredibles" fits into the action and fantasy genre.

Next is the Director's name, "Written & Directed by Brad Bird'.
