The opening credits that would classify as an opening title sequence were at the start of paramount pictures film ‘A Farwell to arms’. Opening credits used to be simple cards with text on them. These cards are the next step forwards for silent films. Sheets with credits/ titles were rolled in front of the camera to create a ‘title card’ Later on transparent sheets were for title sequences.
watch up to 1minute and 15 second, for the opening titles
‘A Farewell to arms’ started the new trend of making these credits more exciting by having a plane then a explosion then the title edited on the screen and credits with dramatic music in background. as had text on the screen telling what’s happened. Reminded me of star wars.
1940 ‘ Walt Disney’s Fantasia’ was first sound film to have NO opening credits, it did how ever have end credits like many movies today.
