Titles can either be separate to the opening of a film or incorporated into them in some way.
They can either add something to the narrative or add nothing and simply show the titles.
The Orphanage: The opening credits are shown separately to the opening of the film. They show children's hands ripping off wallpaper to reveal the titles. This probably has something to do with what happens later on in the film and implies that the characters will try to uncover something.
Vertigo: The opening starts off with an extreme close up of a woman's face, the title "Vertigo" appears in the characters eye in a very a very small font and then grows. Then as the camera goes into her eye and we see more titles in a separate screen. The shapes in the middle of the screen give the impression of falling.
