There are many differences between a movie trailer and an opening sequence, for example a trailer shows the highlights of the movie and gives an overview of the plot, whereas an opening sequence is the beginning of the movie which begins to familiarise the setting with the audience, without giving anything away.
A movie trailer includes who is starring in the film and also shows the good parts, as a way to persuade the audience to watch the movie. A movie trailer is released as an advertisment to grab the audience's attention, and tends to have a voiceover, which informs the viewers of the details about the film. Trailers consist of montage editing to show random clips of the film, as well as fast paces shots. In contrast, opening sequences contains slower paced shots, to lead the viewers into the storyline of the film. Opening sequences begin to introduce the characters, and establishes the mood and genre of the movie, this is used to hook the audience and make them feel engaged. Many films have a soundtrack playing during the opening sequence to help set the scene and create an atmosphere. As well, opening titles are generally used as an introduction to get the audience settled before watching the movie.
