  1. a good start but it needs more depth of your own voice
    > • add a summary section reflecting on how effective the opening sequence is in representing character / introducing narrative / hooking the audience - you could reflect on who the audience is / cost / studio info / dialogue / soundtrack...
    • try to enhance this summary with images from the film / quotes you find and indicate what ideas you get for your own work
