This opening sequence is from 'Carry On Doctor' a film produced in 1967. The opening titles were all very similar and stuck to the traditional layout of titles. The text fades into each page and only some of the text fades onto the screen. This is a simple way of presenting titles but was also because at the time (1967) the technology wasn't available to give following, artistic titles. There was one pattern for the older films and most productions stuck to this pattern.
The genre is obvious by the frequent use of cartoon images which all depict a humorous scene, so the audience know it is a comedy. Also comedy is shown by the use of alternate titles for the film. After the main title of 'Carry On Doctor' is shown a selection of new comedic titles are shown: 'Nurse Carries On Again', 'Death of a Daffodil' and 'Life is a Four-Letter Word', this is the style repeated in every Carry On movie opening sequence.
