Recording our voice over

This morning we recorded our voice over. We used a dictaphone, as our previous attempt to record on the Mac meant our sound was quite muffled. We used our actress, Hannah C's, own voice and this worked really well because she of course knows the character better than anyone else! We asked her to speak in a slow, monotonous tone as she narrates her disarranged lifestyle, which shows her change in personality under the influence of drugs. We also considered the fact that it was a voice over to the film opening, so we chose to keep it fairly simple and not give too much away - we tried to maintain a sense of detachment as the voice upholds the status of our character, who appears professional to others in her working environment.
Here is a picture of the script, with bits and bobs which Miss Foster helped us change:

We are really happy with how our voice over sounds and we have just imported into iMovie - it works quite well on top of the background music.
