Theory Integration

Excitation Transfer Theory: Excitation Transfer Theory explains how emotional excitement from one moment can carry over and make people react more strongly to what happens next. Developed by Dolf Zillmann, the theory shows that excitement like adrenaline, that can make their emotional reaction stronger. 

I want to integrate this theory into my project because emotional reactions are important in media. By starting with an intense or emotional scene, I can build arousal in the audience and make later scenes feel more meaningful or powerful. This would help increase audience engagement and emotional connection to the story, especially in openings, dramatic moments, or character development scenes.
