Voice Over

In terms of voice over, it was my job to complete this assignment given to me. Thus, on the 2nd of December, I asked Michael Trevaillon from the English Department if he were available to voice-over our trailer. I decided to choose Miche because he has a soulful voice plus a Canadian accent which is lovely and unique! =) Luckily, he had time and read out a small script I provided for him which was:

• Based on a True Story
• Nominated for best film
• At the Cannes film festival in 2008
• "Intriguing, fast-paced, neat."
• ^^ Empire Magazine
• The Cut (title)

Although, voice over's aren't a well-known conventions for an independent film trailer, we thought we'd go solo and start a new convention of our own. The least there is to say, the more effective it shall be.

We also asked Sam Rouse to participate from the media department,as the sound was all distorted on screen, we told Sam to repeat his script but this time, adressing the Mic in the studio room. We decided to go for Sam as he was on screen for the filming but he sounds extremely enthusiastic and blissful as he always is! =) Here are the lines for Sam in which he said;

• Welcome to film club, it will change your lives!
• The world on your doorstep...
• The trees, the birds, the nature
• It's great to see some enthusiastic film-makers!

Now, that we have completed the voice-over, the sound is yet to composed. Thanks to Suhail, we have found a song composed by Clint Mansell called "Death is the road to awe"from the operatic and classical era, here's a preview of the tune;
