Conventions of film openings

In the opening sequence :
Title
We see the production and film company logos
List of credits directors and actors
Establishing shots
Shots to show location for example many shots at beginning of film show a sky view of a city scape.
Introducing the main characters
Also learnt about classic openings:
Begin with long opening credits then:
1.City scape
2.close up t in on one of the buildings
3.close up of  an window
4. going into the room
5.meet the characters
An example of this will be the intro of the 1960 film thriller below is an link of the video
