Incorporating iconic landmarks and signage in the background – while the narrator is included in the foreground – helps establish setting without significant exposition from the narrator. There is more need for the narrator to orally establish the setting of the scene in situations when iconic landmarks are not available. This feature includes a variety of scenes where recognizable icons from London in the background as well as moments when narration is required to let the viewer know where the action is taking place. Pay close attention to the narrator’s need to identify a section of the Berlin Wall. Without that oral label, the Berlin Wall – a global icon in of itself – the viewer would not be able to infer the significance of the setting without further exposition. Depending upon additional oral details – in order to express the significance of the setting – would ineffectively impact the overall tone, pacing and quality of the piece.
