Voice Over

    In our film, the voice over is an essential part due to the fact that it's the explanation of the protagonist's life & what she's going through. Because of this, we need to make sure that the voice over we include fits in perfectly with the overall plot. In order to do so, I decided to check out some movie examples to guide me. As I was searching, I found a great article that included the top 10 voice-overs in film. Not only did they list the movies, but also they included exactly what the voice overs said in the film. Below each voice over, they added an explanation of it to show what each film was going for. This article is very helpful because I feel more prepared to create the script of the voice over according to the specific mood that were going for, which in this case, it's mysterious.

Some examples included were:
1.The Fight Club (1999)
This scene demonstrates the voice over by showing the audience what was going through the protagonist's head as he was being smashed in the face.

2.The Royal Tenenbums (2001)
This scene is presented with a voice over of the narrator introducing the plot of the film.
The voice helps to break the stillness and emotional vacuity of the film, as well as lighten it up a little.

3.Taxi Driver (1976)
In this scene the voice over is told in the form of rambling diary entries, it is important to recognize that the character isn’t actually talking to his audience; he is talking to himself, and we have no choice but to listen and try to find some sort of understanding.
