Applications in my own work:
We won’t be considering using narration in our film opening.
This is because we don’t think it will contribute to the storyline, and we
believe it will detract from the tension and suspense we aim to create. This
may stop the audience from being intrigued enough to watch the rest of the
film: the purpose of a film opening.
