differences of a trailer and an opening sequence to a film.

There are many differences between a trailer and the opening of a film. A trailer is made up of many different parts of the movie usually showing some of the story-line and some of the best parts of the movie to entice a certain audience into watching the film. A trailer always begins with the production company and any other companies who took part in the making of the film like Dreamworks for example. So a trailers main purpose is to entice its audience and give away some parts of the story-line even sometimes telling a part of the story to make people want to see the film. you can see all of this in the trailer below.

But in the opening of a film we will either have the title of the film show up or a sequence leading up to the title of the film and we usuall have close ups of the main characters with in the film and the film starts to tell the story and sets the scene of what time period the film is in, what kind of society the films characters live in to captivate the audience into watching on as you can see in the opening sequence to V For Vendetta below.
