Voiceover

For the voice over at the start of my opening sequence I want it to be quite mysterious and make the audience ask questions and want to watch the rest of the film.

Possible voice overs at the start of my film are:

I know what I've done and I know what I haven't, other people don't know the true story, them other people only believe what they read in the paper and I don't care what they think because I know the truth I know why I came here ... to start a new life, no, not a new life a new... start. To forget about my past forget what happened and this time do it the only way I know I can... the right way... my way.

While Alice is saying the voice over we will see her car from a long shot and parts of the car and her body and we won't see her face until she comes out of the car completely, when she arrives at her house.

I have also been looking at music to play during the voice-over with lyrics that relate to what Alice is saying; one possibility of this is Lana Del Rey's- Born to Die and what I would play specifically is the verse between 01:37-01:54 when Lana Del Rey sings- 

You like your girls insane
Choose your last words
This is the last time
Cause you and I, we were born to die



 I like these particular lyrics as they have hidden meaning in what Alice is feeling as she is saying that she wants to die

Another possibility is Lana Del Rey's 'Ride' the part in particular the verse-

I hear the birds on the summer breeze, I drive fast
I am alone in the night
Been tryin' hard not to get into trouble, but I
I've got a war in my mind
So, I just ride


 

I think this verse fits in perfectly as she sings that she is trying hard not to get into trouble like Alice is also trying not to get into trouble but the voice over suggests that she also doesn't care if she does. I think that when Alice pulls into the driveway of her house and she can then turn off the radio as Lana Del Rey heads into the chorus, as this will be the perfect time to stop the music as we go into a close up of Alice turning off the radio.
