Narrative:
The opening scene starts with an establishing shot of part of the Manhattan skyline. Briefly after this music begins to come in and as it continues various iconic shots of Manhattan are shown. A voice over is played over the montage of videos of Manhattan and the music. This voice over is describing a person in great detail, but the voice of the voice over is also stumbling over their words and rethinking them to say them in the best possible way he can. It establishes the beginning of a storyline of a man in Manhattan. I can easily see this from the montage of shots and the voice over speaking so passionately about different aspects of Manhattan and how this person being spoken about is connected to Manhattan. The voice over finishes as the music builds and shows more shots of Manhattan.
