Voice-over ideas

We had some ideas for the type of voiceover we could use in our opening and the main one that stood out for myself was that we could make it seem like a police interview.

This could be done as we could get somebody to speak as a policeman/policewoman interviewing somebody who we could portray as Charlotte's character in the film. It's an idea for the police officer to ask Charlotte the questions in the parts of our opening where she is in the present time and not in her flashback. This is because Charlottes answers could explain various things happening in the flashback giving the viewer an idea of what's going on yet not revealing too much.

In order to do this well we would have to really think about the voices we are going to use. It would be good if we got an adult to portray the police officer's voice as that seems more realistic. It would be okay for any of us to do the voice for Charlotte's character as it is a young girl.

We have an external microphone that we can use to record our voiceover. The next thing we have to consider is whether we would like quiet music in the background creating an atmosphere when perhaps Charlotte's character is reflecting on what has happened or whether we use an eerie silence as this is more likely in a police interview.
