A great beginning
I always have been a fan of clever movie title sequences, and when I watched The Kingdom I couldn’t help but marvel the amazing opening credits. To tell the best stories, you have to ensure you have taken your audience captive; and this is a great example of an introduction that does just that. Here the careful balance between typography, animation, film, and careful timing create a stellar example of a great movie introduction.

Also have a look at the work of Pablo Ferro, he did some amazing stuff. Have a look at the title sequnce of ‘Dr. Strangelove’

And ‘Bullit’ (with Steve McQueen), this is definitely one of favourites:
