If you want to get your story's messy background out of the way as fast as possible but don't have the budget to shoot the background scenes for the Opening Monologue, then your next best option is the simple yet elegant Opening Scroll. As the name implies, this is a text scroll that passes over (or into) the screen, supplying all relevant information with minimal impact on the movie's running time or budget. A variation is to have the text fade up and then fade down, but this is something that shouldn't go on for too long due to being terribly dull to watch. Expect many examples to be an homage and/or parody of Star Wars, which itself did so as an homage to the Flash Gordon serials. See also War Was Beginning. Compare Dictionary Opening, Opening Monologue, Title In. |

Ahsoka is the first Star Wars series to use a scroll to provide exposition in its premiere episode. Unlike the Skywalker Saga scrolls, this one is in red font instead of yellow, plays with darker and quieter music than the traditional bombastic Star Wars fanfare, is left-aligned rather than centered, and scrolls straight upwards rather than being angled up and away from the camera. | |

Escape Velocity has a normal opening scroll, and a couple of humorous Easter Egg alternates. The sequel EV Override also uses one, but the third game EV Nova eschews it in favor of either a non-scrolling text box or up to four splashscreens, depending on the game files used (though there is a way to use the non-scrolling text box option to instead show a short movie, which the unofficial updates to the ports of Classic and Override to Nova use to reintroduce the opening scroll). The open-source EVN clone Naev goes back to the opening scroll. | |

All of the Mass Effect games use this during the opening. In the first, it explains humanity's entry into the galactic community and segues into a Title Drop, in the second, it summarizes the events and ramifications of what happened at the end of the first, and in the third, it describes the build-up to and beginnings of the Reaper invasion. | |

Phineas and Ferb: "Meapless in Seattle" opens with a parody of the Star Wars scroll briefly recapping the events of "The Chronicles of Meap" and explaining how the current episode started as a gag trailer at the end of that episode before viewer demand inspired them to make a real version of the episode. Naturally, the Star Wars Special includes one, which concludes by reminding viewers that it's not part of Star Wars canon. |

As noted in the trope description, the use of this trope in Star Wars and the other films in the franchise was a Shout-Out to the old Film Serials that served as inspiration to George Lucas. Buck Rogers and Flash Gordon Conquers the Universe—both dating from 1940—use this trope at the beginning of each episode so the viewing audience can catch up with the plot. | |

Monty Python's Flying Circus made a Running Gag of this in episode 25. The scroll would always begin, "In (year), (noun) lay in ruins," to introduce subjects such as Hungarians entering tobacco shops, World War I, or The End of the episode. Episode 15 provides the Spanish Inquisition with one that notes that the "violence, terror and torture" they unleashed make for "a smashing film." Episode 45 has an opening scroll for a Western which has nothing to do with any of the sketches. |

The former was used in its Mystery Science Theater 3000 presentation, to great comedic effect due to its marginal legibility: | |
