Title sequences are an effective way to express motion graphics. They serve as a prelude to the film. They the audience's interest by hinting at the upcoming event, whether it's a movie, TV show, or Web animation. One of the most important roles of a title sequence is to establish the tone of the film you're about to watch.
Effective title sequences hint at the film's themes without overshadowing the film: They hint at what will happen later in the film but don't reveal any major narrative details.

In order to grasp the film's fundamental theme, viewers must be able to discern a variety of moral and theological concepts based on a distinction between "crimes" that violate man's law and acts that offend Almighty God. In a culture where such a divide did not exist, the picture would not only conjure up images of Hell, but it would also be difficult to comprehend.
