Final Voice Over Script

Voice Over


This is the voice over that we have written for the male character within our film. We want our opening sequence to be quite heart clenching and we want the voice over in particular to draw the audience in. After writing down many idea's about what this character could say which would be the most effective, we all came to an agreement that these idea's fitted best in relation to the action that takes place when they are watching the films opening. In the first few shots, we will be showing various angle's in our female character's room getting a text and then getting ready; doing her hair, makeup, jewellery etc. Whilst this is being shown we will have the voice over begin so that you can hear the male character in the background at most times, speaking about the love of his life and a loss of something (Evie). We want the audience to be taking note of what the male character is saying in the background as he's voice speaks over the soft music which, as it picks up, starts to come to an end and then picks up as the music becomes quieter again. When we did practise shot's and filming, we found that when we put the action together with the voice over, too much was going on so we are thinking removed some of the voice over so that the audience can focus on the action for a while rather what the character is saying. The action taking place will be able to be followed on from what the male character has been saying so the audience will be able to interpret for themselves what is going on.

We felt that the voice over will give the opening sequence the romantic mood and sad emotion that we want to potray within our opening and i also feel that it makes ti easier for the audience to interpret what is going on if there is a voice over to listen to as well as the action taking place. With too much of the voice over on whilst the action is being shown, the audience will get confused as they wont know what part of the opening to focus on which is why we are only using some parts of the script, not all of it.
