In the opening credits on friends, the music, camera shots and editing immediately help the audience recognise the genre of the TV show and sets the tone and atmosphere in the episode.
The opening credits consist of the various small clips from some episodes of the program, with clips of each character when their name is on the screen. They do this so people that hasn't seen the show before, briefly know the type of characters they are and some of there characteristics.
The theme music in the opening credits is a the song "I'll be there for you"by The Rembrandt's. This song fits the opening credits and TV show perfectly because the song is about friendship and the show is about a group of friends. The song is up beat with a high tempo so it sets a fun atmosphere and encourage the audience to continue watching.
The editing in the opening credits is very quick as it doesn't stay on one clip for more that two seconds, so it stays in sync with the tempo of the music and so it looks exciting to the viewer.
The opening credits to friends is recognised by many people, partly due to the success of Friends but also by its uniqueness and its distinctive features like the music and the editing.
