Voice Over - 4th March 2010

Hedley wrote a script for the voice over that we would play over the opening so that the audience can follow through what's happening and get an insight into the main characters and what they plan to do without revealing too much information. We tried to keep with the typical British slang without making it confusing for other audiences it appeals to. By using slang this adds to the generic conventions of a British ganster/drama film. h voice runs smoothly with the film and takes away and really adds the final touches to make it look like a proffesional well thought out piece of work.

The voice over is as follows:

If you’re a faint hearted person I advise you to turn away now. Anyway, introducing Leicester’s finest hard-nut, mostly known as Mo. He is mostly known for his dirty business tactics to get clients to pay up any means necessary. He works for his twin brother who is notoriously known far and wide for his illegal schemes including drug smuggling, trafficking, basically anything illegal he’s included. This duo is not to be disrespected. (Played over the scene in which Muhammed Sacranie's character is being introduced along with his 'twin'.)

(Stops while Muhamme is making a call)

Whitey, a local nitty, seventeen; lives with his uncaring, pikey parents...and this is just another henchman. (Played once Hedley is introduced as the hostage)

We decided that Hedley would record the voice over using a deep voice to take away the idea that he's a Media student and allow him to adapt to the persona of a typical British hustler with a cockey accent. He recorded this a few times so that we had more than attempt to choose from and after completeing this we saved it while waiting for our overall film to be edited and finished to then be able to add the voice over.
