Although I didn't look at Sports films entirely, I did look at other genres of films, through the Art of the Titles. All of which were very useful to watch as I was able to gain a better understanding as to how films tend to start and the sort of camera shots that are used.
From looking at these other openings, I can take note of how the different titles, and names of the actors are shown; this could help as I could possibly implement this into our own opening. I also saw the different themes used on different openings, and how the correlate to the film itself.
