I will be analysing the different types of conventions that we expect to find in a film opening.
One of the features that we would expect to find in a film opening is the title of the film itself, pictured below is the title of the film "300" which immediately gives us a clue to what genre this film is going to be.
Another convention that will most likely to be in a film opening is a a image within the opening title to give the audience a clue of where the film is going to be set, the picture below of the silhouette of the horses and men on the horses gives the impression that this film is going to be based around the theme of 'fighting'which also corresponds to the title of the film. The title of the film looks as if the word "300" is smeared in blood which is shown in the opening titles of the film which connotes the feeling that the setting is located in an area which is in a war or battle.

Credits are often shown in film opening to introduce the characters to the viewers and also to introduce the most important members of production. Credits are important to show in the opening of films because it gives the viewers a vague idea of what type of the type of roles each characters. Before opening credits was not introduced into the 'film industry', most of the films did not get a long shelf life in stores as the audience did not know who the main characters were.
