Notice How Every Science Fiction Movie Or Television Show Starts With A Shot Of The Location Where The Story Is About To Occur. Movies That Take Place In Outer Space Always Start With A Shot Of Stars And A Starship. Movies That Take Place On Another World Always Start With A Shot Of That Planet. This Is To Let You Know Where You Are. Novels And Stories Start The Same Way. You Have To Give The Reader A Sense Of Where He Is And What's Happening As Quickly As Possible. You Don't Want To Start The Story By Confusing The Reader.
