For the voice over, I hoped to find someone who was well-spoken but also had a clear and relatively low voice to fit with the atmosphere of the opening to the film. I used George who is in my year at school, so he was easily accessible to complete my voice over in time before I began editing. The voice over was completed in one long take and where there were slight interruptions I asked George to repeat the line (the parts with laughter or doors slamming). When I began to edit I cut each sentence into small clips to then move into the correct place of the film more easily. Although cutting the clips would be time consuming it would allow for a more precise match of the lyrics to the music and the shots. The voice over was key in my opening as it set the tone of the film but also built the tension from the outset. It needed to be perfect as it was how the shots of the opening would make sense at all. The majority of the voice over is about Jack's pain which stemmed directly from whatever Chloe had done to him. It was important for the audience to make the assumption that Chloe is a modern day femme fatale, so that they sympathise with Jack at the beginning as he gives the impression that she broke his heart.
