Script/Narration Elements
The Film Opens With A Title Screen of my production company and then it fades to black with the opening narration
Narrator: Once upon a time there was a card game, different from the rest, however the world has yet to tap the true potential of such cards, however there are a select few who possess the power to change the game forever and this is the tale of one such individual.
