4 different types of title sequence

The 4 different types of title sequences:

Titles on black screen: usually white text on black background. this creates a high contrast and it is very cheap. also, it is considered to be simple and uncomplicated.
Titles on still images: more elaborate than simple white text and may hint the tone or genre. Also, it may combine different types of media. In addition, it involves music which may introduce the theme.
Titles on moving images: It may introduce the tone and looks very different to the others. Also, combines really well with music.
Titles using animation or motion: requires digital technology and very stylised editing. Also, may be expensive.

I prefer titles using animation or motion(stylised) because it is more unique and very modern compared to the other title sequences. Also, it does not require the exact plot or setting, therefore it will make the audience make an impression without knowing much of the film. Also, it is really affective if music or different colours are combined with the animation. However, it involves digital technology which may take a little more time and may be more expensive tan other titles.

I believe that the title sequence for the Skyfall film was successful because it included animation. I think the combination of the music and action was phenomenal.
