| - The title sequence is a short graphical sequence which opens every episode of Emmerdale. It traditionally contains various shots of the Dales usually culminating in an aerial shot of the village, followed by a close-up.
- The Doctor Who Title Sequence is that 40 second segment of CGI vomit that begins every episode of Doctor Shmockter to distract the slack jawed brain dead viewers from the terrible writing with "OOOOOOOO SHINY THINGS!". It's usually centered around the time vortex, and commonly features asteroids, stars, the TARDIS, disembodied Peter Davison heads and flying words like "DAVID TENNANT" across its various different iterations. All of this is accompanied with the worst piece of music ever composed.
- The title sequence during The 100's first season was a short piece, showing only the title of the show and it breaking apart.
- Title sequence is an Occupation normally listed under Other Crew. If the credits directly indicate it, then it might also be listed under Visual Effects or Art Department.
- From 1993-1997, the then-current MTV logo is shown above the word "and" before the latter even appears. Later, the logo and title disappear, replaced by "Created by Mike Judge". For the 2011 revival, Judge's name replaces the MTV logo. In both versions, Beavis and Butt-head laugh throughout.
- In all there have been eight main title sequences in Coronation Street's history, with new versions debuting in 1960, 1964, 1969, 1975, 1976, 1990, 2002 and 2010. In most cases, the change has coincided with a change in production method (eg. colour, HD). Each one follows roughly the same formula of various shots of terraced streets representing the programme's setting of Weatherfield. Details of each sequence, their variations, and associated ad bumpers and end credits, are given below.
- Each episode of Bones features a title sequence presenting the show's cast members, consisting of clips from each season´s first few episodes, as well as clips from previous seasons. Bellow it´s a picture gallery of each season's title cards for the main actors and actresses. This is to show who was credited in the main title credits for each season, and to highlight significant cast changes that occured throughout the series. The only actors and actresses to be credited since the first season in the opening credits are Emily Deschanel, David Boreanaz, Michaela Conlin and TJ Thyne.
- The initial title sequence uses the following clips:
* Scenes from Scranton, Pennsylvania shot by John Krasinski and his friends as they drove through the city.
* The Penn Paper and Supply building which is now occupied PA Paper Company located on Penn and Vine. The white business sign at the top of the tower has been changed from Penn Paper to PA Paper.
* The Scranton Center on Mulberry and N Washington , home to the Paper Magic Group, manufacturer of seasonal greeting cards. Creator Greg Daniels mentioned that he chose Scranton as the location for The Office because he saw "Made in Scranton" on the back of a greeting card. That greeting card was probably made by the Paper Magic Group.

- Historically, the title sequence has been of great interest to Doctor Who fans, especially when it has been overhauled, as at the beginning of a new actor's tenure as the Doctor, or simply when a producer decided to do so. Changes to the title sequence can be rigorously scrutinised by fans, who may be interested in such minutiae as the font used in the title cards or even relatively minor variations in the theme music.
- The sequence opens with a close-up of the sun and the astrolabe surrounding it. Relief details are visible on the astrolabe, showing a volcano destroying a city while a dragon watches on and several people escaping in a boat, a reference to the Doom of Valyria and the Targaryens escape from it. The camera then pans to a wide-shot of Westeros and Essos before zooming in on the city of King's Landing, in particular the sigil of House Baratheon on what appears to be a large gear in the middle of the city. The gear begins turning, moving other cogs, and then three-dimensional buildings start rising out of the ground, such as the Red Keep and the Great Sept of Baelor.
- More often than not, a Title Sequence will feature at or around the beginning of a film or television program, serving to inform viewers of what exactly they were watching. For most programs, this sequence will feature a list of primary cast and/or production members, along with the program's theme song, establishing narrative, and visually appealing footage. Sometime the footage will remain identical throughout the series, or alter in parts for a specific storyline.

For most programs, this sequence will feature a list of primary cast and/or production members, along with the program's theme song, establishing narrative, and visually appealing footage. Sometime the footage will remain identical throughout the series, or alter in parts for a specific storyline. On some occasions, the program will play a small scene before the title sequence, referred to as a "cold open". This method serves the purpose of setting up one of the episode's primary plots, thus drawing in any potential viewers who might want to change the channel and watch another program as opposed to the titles. The average title sequence can last anywhere between thirty seconds to a whole minute, though can be extended or reduced either way.

The gear begins turning, moving other cogs, and then three-dimensional buildings start rising out of the ground, such as the Red Keep and the Great Sept of Baelor. Once the city is assembled, the camera moves north across Westeros to Winterfell, which similarly rises out of the ground while a gear bearing the sigil of House Stark rotates. The camera pays particular attention to the godswood of Winterfell and its heart tree as it rises out of the ground before panning up to the sun and astrolabe. There is then another close-up of the detail on the astrolabe, this time showing the Stark direwolf, Lannister lion and Baratheon stag engaging the Targaryen dragon in combat, a reference to Robert's Rebellion. The camera returns to Winterfell and then pans north to the Wall, where more gears start turning and Castle Black emerges from the ground, while the pulley lift emerges from the face of the Wall. The camera pulls all the way back to King's Landing before moving across the Narrow Sea to the Free City of Pentos, which similarly emerges from the ground while gears rotate. The title sequence ends with a return to the relief detail of the astrolabe, now showing the animals representing the various noble houses of Westeros bowing to the triumphant Baratheon stag. The Game of Thrones logo then appears over the astrolabe, with the heads of a dragon, wolf, lion, and stag emerging from the side of the logo.
- Historically, the title sequence has been of great interest to Doctor Who fans, especially when it has been overhauled, as at the beginning of a new actor's tenure as the Doctor, or simply when a producer decided to do so. Changes to the title sequence can be rigorously scrutinised by fans, who may be interested in such minutiae as the font used in the title cards or even relatively minor variations in the theme music. The 1963 - 1967 version of the programme titles did not feature an image of The Doctor, but from 1967-1989 the title sequence included a shot of the current Doctor's head floating either through space or the time vortex. However, the presence of the head — or in the case of Season 11, the body — of the Doctor during the Troughton, Pertwee and Tom Baker eras rendered the title sequences more abstract. John Nathan-Turner's radical redesign of the title sequence completely eliminated the time vortex, and replaced it with a representation of space that was never seen in that way within the body of episodes — mainly because the visual effect of space was far more expensive than the production team could afford on a weekly basis. By contrast, the title sequences used during the Hartnell era, the McGann telemovie, and the whole of the BBC Wales era, were not abstractions, but showed the time vortex in a way that was used within the body of stories themselves. (TV: An Unearthly Child, Doctor Who, Utopia, The Pandorica Opens, Hide). The 1996 TV movie eliminated the use of the Doctor's face in the title sequence (although it did use an extreme close-up of the Master's eyes instead), instead introducing the practice of crediting the lead actors over the opening theme -- something that was never done in the 1963-89 series. This same general format was retained when Doctor Who returned to television in 2005, although some fans bemoaned the loss of the Doctor's face from the sequence and created their own for video sharing services such as YouTube. However, the 2012 Christmas Special, The Snowmen, introduced a new title sequence which the Doctor's face was integrated into. The current title sequence which was introduced in Deep Breath also includes the Doctor's face, although it mainly focuses on the eyes.
