After hearing this voice over, then writing it out, I feel as if I need to use short sentences in order to include many points about the film which could possibly be created. I like this voice over as it doesn't give too much away, but enough to tell the audience who they want to target what the film is about.
I think that the use of a voice over is very important, as it is able to capture the audience's attention, but also allowing those people who learn better by listening to be reached, as a voice over is able to get to you. Some voice overs display emotion towards what they are saying, which can also have an effect on an audience as it helps them to understand about the film.
