Voice over

When it came to creating our voice over for our trailer, we considered everything before we made the decision to actually put the voice in.

The things we had to consider were what gender the speaker was going to be and what accent the speaker was going to read in.

At first we had a male speaker and that was conventional, and we did like this to begin with and then we proceeded to add an American accent with the male speaker. This however didn't feel right for both of us, it was unconventional for a British film from our point of view to have an American voice over. 

We then sat down and played around and watched a couple of trailers to gather some ideas about what a typical thriller voice over has. We then came to the conclusion that in most of the thriller trailers that we watched, it was mainly the victim speaking and then in this case it was Harley. This was the complete opposite to what we had originally planned, but we both felt like we needed to fit the typical conventions of a thriller and create the voice over from the victims point of view to then connect with the target audience and to keep the voice over in a British accent. 

All in all this went relatively well we planned previous scripts and there wasn't any problems with this. We made suggestions to each other before and after and finally came up with a script for Harley to read over the top of certain shots, that we found to be important.
