The opening sequence for Dirty Dancing has factual text as it shows us the cats and crew quite seriously is pink font which would attract teenage girls more than boys. It's also aesthetic with the back and white montage clips flowing behind the text. Quite a serious tone is being set but the soundtrack keeps the sequence upbeat and the music is catchy and popular in its time, it goes with the opening very well. The function of the titles is to inform the intended teenage audience what type of genre the film is and that it is about dancing. Clues to what the narrative will be are shown through the show motion montage of teens.
The sequence is live action which keeps it classy and informative, all of the credits are shown over the top of the on going video in the background. As it shows the viewer what the film is about, it is a good introduction to the film. This links to other sequences of this genre as it informs the viewer that there are teenagers starring in the film and there's a sense of love and passion which links to teens developing their sexualities as they mature or experiment. All the institutional information is presented within the names of the actors and so on, every name is shown in a different curly font which draws attention to them.
