The final scene in our film had to be perfect. For this scene we wanted to incorporate a voice over, simply to end the film with the main characters voice our audiences heads. We had no dialogue in our film at all just sound so this had to be good.
At first we used a digital recorder, we found this very difficult as had had no training on this piece of equipment. As wasn’t as easy as we had hoped we decided to just use a video recorder, as we were familiar with it. I had told Anisha and Riham the One line that we should use, as I thought it was very captivating and simple. Each of us attempted to get the right voice and in to character to perform the dialogue, and in the end after many tried we decided to use Anisha’s voice. It didn’t really matter who’s voice we used as there was no dialogue anyway.
‘I never thought I could love, but I can’t help it anymore.’
The voice over was to be placed at the climax of the film a crucial moment, which we hoped would stay in our viewers minds. The sudden outbreak of Leanne in the Red filtered bathroom, soon after she ripped of all the images of her beloved from the lipstick tainted mirror. At this moment she stares at her reflection, and then the voice over takes over.
We believed this would be a cliffhanger and just grab our audience, but also leave them with the feeling of anxiety to what happens next. This voice over was important, for us to reveal our characters state of mind to the audience, so they ultimately would feel apart of the film and sympathy towards her.
It was a taxing process trying to import and link the voice over to the film, but in the end we found a way.
For the voiceover to be the only audio in our film, we had to unlink all the frames and then delete only the audio from all our filming. Reason for unlinkin the frames and deleting the audio was for the soundtrack to then replace the audio, so that it could play in it’s entirety, without being interrupted by left sound.
For the voiceover, as we recorded it on a video recorded we had to unlink the files and delete the filming as we only wanted the audio, we did all this on Adobe Premier Pro.
