Explanation:
"In motion pictures, an intertitle (also known as a title card) is a piece of filmed, printed text edited into the midst of (i.e. inter-) the photographed action at various points. Intertitles used to convey character dialogue are referred to as "dialogue intertitles", and those used to provide related descriptive/narrative material are referred to as "expository intertitles".[1] **In modern usage, the terms refer to similar text and logo material inserted at or near the start of films and television shows**"

Explanation:
Générique de film
