What are titles?
Titles mainly give credits to the key people who helped the production of the film. Tittles can help establish the genre through the font/ colour and placement. For example in this opening title sequence. For example in this title, establishes the character, the location and the time. Titles should include 21 of the most important names, these are the; director, screenplay(writer), based upon, produced by, executive producer, director of photography, production designer, editor, music, costume designer, casting, 5 main actors, film title, the main star, directors film name, production and money.
The colours, font and transition of how the titles are included in the opening title sequence - for example, a horror film would include colours such as black white and red as they are stereotypically 'scary' such as the one below - this sets the narrative while still being informative - in comparison, you could use a bigger and more colourful and lively font to set a different narrative. Titles within an opening sequence are effective as we can see more clearly the antagonist/ protagonist themselves with the titles which just sets a more 'whole' picture where you can assume the narrative.
Genre is conveyed through conventions and this is easily and effectively done through different fonts and colours, and can give hints to the narrative of the film
