Voice-over (also known as off-camera or off-stage commentary) is a production technique where a voice—that is not part of the narrative (non-diegetic)—is used in a radio, television production, filmmaking, theatre, or other presentations. The voice-over is read from a script and may be spoken by someone who appears elsewhere in the production or by a specialist voice talent. It is usually pre-recorded and placed over the top of a film or video and commonly used in documentaries or news reports to explain information. In our film, we are going to use a voiceover for one of the main male characters, this will be intimidating and it'll be right from the beginning so the audience will instantly be involved and want to see more. We will use a voice over numerous times in our trailer, as we want to blend the non-diegetic sound with the diegetic. This will lead to the trailer going smoothly and the audience will understand more with a variety of shots and speech over the top.
In the Fight Club trailer, we see the protagonist uses diegetic and non-diegetic sound, they speak in the trailer as well as what seems like their thoughts are non-diegetic and off-camera. We get to see two aspects of this character and it makes the trailer more interesting. We are going to take inspiration from this and show more than one aspect of specific characters too, this will help show their personality and create certain codes for the audience.
