What makes an effective title sequence?

We began discussing to see what makes and effective tittle sequence for a film.  We thought that the most important points are:

1.) It should send information about the plot through clues and symbolism
2.) Establish enigma's for intellectual engagement
3.) Should set the genre.  This could be done through the style of music chosen.  For example a horror film may have high-pitch, discomforting music, whereas a comedy film may have upbeat, and high tempo music.  This establishes the audiences expectations. 
4.) Information about the time and place of where the film is set, as this will help the audience understand the context of the film.  
5.) Should show the name of the film and the opening credits
