Voice Over

Our intial ideas which we wanted to film for our opening two minutes of a film did not include any speech of any sort whether it be a monologue, dialogue or within the music. After we had an assortment of varied shots of Daisy in the cellar and walking the dog in the park, we edited all of our footage and once we had do so, looking back in retrospect, our idea did not translate exactly how we wanted it to on the screen. It did not capture the tension we wanted to build up in order for the audience to experience an effective thriller film beginning.
After discovering our plan did not work as successfully as we had hoped, we traveled from the initial idea and decided to add a monologue to add the tension which is compulsory to introduce a thriller/crime genre film to an auidence.
This is the monologue we thought to add in - we wanted it to be a news bulletin voice over.

"Breaking News - Yet again another teenage disappearance has been reported. As of yesterday this has been the 19th abduction within the past six weeks. The victim is 17 years old and is currently studying for her A-Levels. Her parents, Deborah and Martin Robinson are holding out in the hope that Daisy will once again be reunited with them so that they can live a normal life."
