I visited this website and read the interview by the two people who created a website on the key points about opening credits and I learnt many key points that make the opening credits to a film effective.

I took these into account so that I can carry them forward and include them in my own opening two minute to a film. They said that it needs to be original and clever with a lot of thought put into it. Also, rather daring and challenging to grasp the viewer immediately so that they have a positive attitude towards the rest of the film.

To add to the effectiveness it should tell a story either straight away or in an abstract way and delve into the core of the story without relvealing too much.

The first few minutes can do many different things, it can either draw us into the film immediately or lead us away giving us a negative view for the rest of the film. So it is immensely important that the first few minutes are the most effective as they function as a key to the rest of the film.

I have taken all these considerations into account and will be definately carrying them forward to help me and my group create effective and successfull opening credits that achieve all these criterias.
