The conventions of an opening sequence include : close ups which limits the audience to keep them guessings. This was we are not being given too much of the storyline away leaving us with questions we want to be answered , so we want to watch the rest of the film. An opening sequence should grab the audiences attention and keep them as involved as possible. If the opening is dull they won't watch the rest.
Another element which an openin sequence should have is the film titles. The film titles are obviously there to tell the audience who took part in the creation of the film and the title , but can also be used to drop subtle hints into what is going to happen in the film.
The background colours to the titles can connote certain things , such as the yellow background used during 'Wallander' which suggests danger. The white lettering 'Psycho' which changes to red also connotes death and danger.
