What Makes A Good Title Sequence ?

According to Kyle Cooper, a good title sequence uses metaphors to tell a story, reminding the audience of the potential of the film. The font of the text is also extremely important in setting out the foundations of the story that the rest of the film plays out. An example of this is in James Cameron's film, Avatar.

The font chosen embodies the film as it appears to be of a metallic texture and is roughly the same colour as that of the characters. Furthermore, the the text is slightly jagged and chipped which could be referring to the primitive nature of the Na'Vi tribe. This shows how the font chosen hugely affects the film as if the text were to be in curly writing, it would completely put off the film and bring the audience's attention to the text, drawing them away from the storyline
