Research on other films

After our showcase we all realised we mainly needed to work on the voice over and to focus on making it really believeable and professional. In order to make this happen Miss Thraser supplied us with a bunch of 'gangster styled' films as after the showcase we decided to combine a 'gangster' piece with a shock horror. Individually we all looked at different films and made notes on voice over effects and the type of voice used. I studied 'Inside Man' the film started really differently as the main character wa sintroduced straight away and was face on to the camera talking directly to the audience. The voice over continued and visually showed the plan and he was talking over the scene explaining what was happening. Along with this music played which had an Indian feel to it and was uplifting. From this opening sequence I think the voice needs to sound more rough and less performed to make it more natural.
The next film I studied was 'American Gangster' this threw the audience right in there and showed a voilent scene, which is probably vital for the audience to understand what happens next in the film. Music played throughout the scene although unfortunatley there was no voice over.
Together we all collaborated our ideas and we came to a decision that sound was vital and from researching voice overs this would help us in maiing ours really effective and believeable.
