Ideas 7th February 2013

      Today while writing up our storyboard we had a few ideas into the voice over for our title sequence. We looked back over at the quotes Bex had researched and decided that the first one: "If anything is true after you are born, it is that you have to die". 

      A good idea that came to mind was to split this dialogue between our two characters; Amelia and Esme. We plan for our protagonist Amelia to say the majority as she turns around to walk away, forcefully stopped by the girl that stands in front of her, Esme who finishes her sentence. 

     Also known as 'off-camera' or 'off-stage commentary', a voice over is a production technique where a voice - that is not part of the narrative (non-diegetic) - is used in any form of presentation. It is pre-recorded and placed over the top of a film or video and commonly used to explain information. Sometimes is can be used to aid continuity in edited versions of films, in order for the audience to gain a better understanding of what has happened between scenes.

      We want to use a voice over throughout the whole sequence to add an eerie feel for the film. It also helps the audience to focus on the character, our protagonist which re-inforces the effect of a strong placement.
