There are key differences between Film Trailers and Film Openings. An Example of the features of a film trailer are listed below...
A film trailer offers information about the film and regularly feature fade to black transitions. Film trailers contain a montage of clips from the film with the majority used to grab the audiences attention. They begin with the logos of the institutions who made the film and the trailer ends with the films title. A good example of this is the trailer for the film “127 Hours (2010)”
Film Openings on the other hand are different as shown below...
A film opening features many titles which give the names of the institutions and people behind the film. These titles are most commonly in the following order: Main Institution, Other Production Companies, Lead Actors, Film title, Other Actors and Crew Members and then The Director. An example sticking to the order are the opening titles of “Catch Me If You Can (2002)”
Other items a Film Opening commonly feature are things such as signature theme tunes, hints of the films genre and indications of where the film takes place. Another thing which most film openings do is subconsciously tell the story of the film. A film series commonly known for doing this are the “James Bond” Films as shown in “Quantum of Solace (2008)”
