What I have learnt researching the opening titles and there timing is how to incorporate timings within my opening and also that the titles run roughly for 3seconds.

I have noticed the difference between an opening than a trailer that the title is shown towards the beginning of the opening whereas in a trailer it is shown at the very end.

Comparing the two together, there is a big contrast in how long the titles run. In 'Straw Dog' (1971) the titles only run for 01.14 whereas in 'Silence of the Lambs' (1991) last for 05.03. Through research into pyschological thrillers I have noticed that titles in the openings of psychological thrillers has become quicker, and the actors names are not shown for as long. It is clear that as time and technology has progressed the quality of the titles has increase also.
