Aspects and elements of time

This chapter was basically about story telling. It covered zoom-ins and zoom-outs and how they add thrilling elements and can change the story. also it covered how sequences can be used to make a good story and how they are interpreted by the audience. the right sequence is key because the audience could mistake whats happening if it isnt well done enough. also, fade-ins and fade-outs, swipes, cuts and others can be used to add certain elements. Also, sound can be very important.
   What was most interesting to me was using the right pictures to covey a coherent story. if the audience cant understand it then what? thats why its important to use sequences that help the story flow. the example used was by showing a woman, a hand, a knife and a door, it creates terror. but a woman, a hand a knife and a loaf of bread can create no thrills because its about a sandwich. The right sequence is whats really most important to a story. the fact than one extra picture can change everything means that it is the most difficult to get right and the most important. 
  Is sequence really more important to the story than anything else? are there other factors just as important or just important by themselves?
