After filming a movie, the movie still needs changes to make it more aesthetically pleasing, interesting, eye-catching, etc. This is where Sound is introduced. Sound in film is a technical code used by filmmakers to make it audibly pleasing and to enhance the genre, therefore, attracting more audiences. In this blog, I will be discussing the last element of sound and, since there are three key elements of sound, this blog will be discussing one of those elements. Since dialogue and sound effects were already discussed, there will be one more blog in the future discusses sound in film, which equates to four elements of sound discussed.
The third element of sound is the Voiceover. The voiceover, as the name suggests, is one's voice playing as an audio over the video. Voiceovers are used in many ways for multiple reasons. These reasons include: narration, expression of emotion and thought process, explanations, etc. An example of a voiceover is when the camera zooms or cuts to a Extreme Close-Up shot or ECU for short towards someone's eyes and the audience hears a voice talking over the video edited into an echo-like manner. This was an opportunity for the audience to see and hear the thought process of someone and how they figured out their next move in the moment of something drastic.
