The typical conventions of a teen film opening often includes:
- a teenage character
- the character to be of a particular stereotype (e.g. jock, princess, nerd, etc.)
- typical locations (e.g. high school, the home)
- a form of transport
- an introduction to the characters and/or setting
The conventions of title sequences:
- The director normally goes last
- Production and Distribution titles and idents go first
- The title of the film stands out the most
- More than one actor in the opening
- Each title lasts on-screen for 3-5 seconds (and have gaps in between)
- There's a large gap between the actors and the crew
