Opening Title Sequence: Dialogue

It's been decided that for our opening title sequence, that it will contain no dialogue in it but instead there will be a voice over in the form of a narration. We think that this will be best because it gives the audience a better understanding of what is happening and also because it fits in well with the film noir genre of the main character (the anti-hero) giving his perspective of the events that will occur. If we was actually creating the entire film, the opening title sequence would be one of the few points of the film that has a narration rather than dialogue between characters. 

So far we have recorded the first part of the narration that is the first part to the opening title sequence. We had some discussion as to who will play the role of the anti-hero and so far it is between myself and Cal. Because of this we have both recorded ourselves reading out lines from the script which myself and Ruby wrote. We also thought it would be a good idea to read the lines in a different accent because it seems a much better idea to have at least one character from either a different location from Norwich in the UK or someone from a different country. So far we have tried a London accent, a northern accent and also a kind of southern states accent. 

To record this we used the voice recording application on Cal's iPhone. We also tried to record using the Meranz with a boom mic attached to it, but because the boom mic was broken and also because we found using the Meranz to complicated, we soon scrapped that idea and just chose to stick with the iPhone instead which has worked out quite well. We plan to select the dialogue we think is the best sounding and best suited to our original ideas to then be edited into our video.
