A title sequence is the way in which films or programmes present their titles and the key people involved with the making of the show. Such as the cast members or any production companies that may have been involved.
First title sequence:

The credits we see in. Boxtrolls:

What book it was based on
Name of cast/actors/VoiceOver
Font
The type of font that was used to introduce The Boxtrolls was an all upper case, uneven font, quite large writing and slightly thick.
The writing with the Boxtrolls font tends to always be on the right and left, only when it is telling us who they are introducing such as the director, then it will be in the middle but not very big.
Besides the font, we are presented with an animated location, which includes stairs, and much more. We are also introduced to the characters of thr film - animated, with the names of the actors/actresses playing them. Also, we are presented with sound. A soundtrack that is just of soft instruments such as violins and such.
The reason I picked this sequence was because I liked the kind of font that was shown, it was quite fun but at the same time quite serious. The way it was presented as well, alongside the animations made me think that the movie would be fun, that's what made me want to watch it.

Font used:
The kind of font that was used in the title sequence for The Last of Us title is big bold white letters, that are quite thick and all in uppercase.
The don't used when introducing the people behind the game were in white uppercase bold letters that were all the same size. Apart from their job titles which was the same font but was smaller than the names.
In the frame we see the font moving constantly to wherever there is a black space on the screen.
Besides the font, we have something to what we believe is a disease spreading across the page, there is also narration going on at the time, setting the scenario for the game (talking about the fireflies and the disease outbreak). Also, we have some quite sad, low music behind the narration of the woman.
What I liked about this sequence was that the colours were plain. Just white and black. Not much going on, which meant I would actually read the names instead of getting distracted. I also picked it because it's something I've already experienced and know that it's good.
