Animated title sequences are important as they grab audience attention and provide clues about the film's genre through the type of animation used. Animations in titles keep audiences engaged by including movements for the eyes to follow rather than static text, and help audiences notice the titles through the use of transitions, fades, floating text, and credits that roll or stop on screen.
