Opening sequence - Stardust

When watching the opening sequence of Stardust within the first few moments a voice over begins narrating the film. This guides us through the history and provides us with the knowledge we need to know to help us understand the plot. An advantage of a voice over is that it engages the audience and makes us aware, it also highlights key points for example it uncovers the events of the wall and stars. The opening sequence also introduces a few of the main characters and establishes the location. We also get to know the genre of the film and see that it is an fantasy adventure/action while also seeing the time period which is set many years ago.
