Conclusion
We decided that our opening title sequence would be a linear OTS. This is because we felt that it made sense to tell the OTS by using a story of chronological events. We thought that it helped to set the tone for the rest of the film and that it was better in terms of explaining to the audience what type of route the film is going to go down.
