Using a wealth of examples drawn from across film history--ranging from \u003ci\u003eWhite Zombie\u003c\/i\u003e (1931), \u003ci\u003eCitizen Kane\u003c\/i\u003e (1940) and \u003ci\u003eBullitt\u003c\/i\u003e (1968) to \u003ci\u003ePrince of Darkness\u003c\/i\u003e (1987), \u003ci\u003eMission: Impossible\u003c\/i\u003e (1996), \u003ci\u003eSucker Punch\u003c\/i\u003e (2011) and \u003ci\u003eGuardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 2\u003c\/i\u003e (2017)--Betancourt develops an understanding of how the audience interprets title sequences as instances of paranarrative, simultaneously engaging them as both narrative exposition and as credits for the production. This theory of cinematic paratexts, while focused on the title sequence, has application to trailers, commercials, and other media as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMichael Betancourt\u003c\/strong\u003e is an artist\/theorist concerned with digital technology and capitalist ideology.
