Learning comment:from this task I have learnt that using diegetic or non-diegetic sound can be useful for when I'm making my own opening sequence. I have also learnt from this task that the use of voices can have an impact on my opening sequence because it can give the audience an insight of what the character in my opening sequence is like just through the characters voice.
