Okay...so state WHAT right here. And film opening isn't a technical term or theory - you're clearly misapplying this generally.
It would be useful to have this in a Word doc or Ppt - NOT deleting your post contents, but making it easier to scroll through each scene by ADDING this before that long, long batch of text.
I'm sure I've already noted that the post title doesn't match the post contents btw.
What the post is actually about should have a KEY INFLUENCES sub-heading at/near the top; it doesn't matter how repetitious this gets (OR IF ITS COPY/PASTED FROM ANOTHER, TWEAKED AS NECESSARY), it helps secure marks for APPLYING research + showing KNOWLEDGE + UNDERSTANDING/RESEARCH.
