Our initial plan was to not have any dialogue in our film, we thought it would not be necessary and may distract the audience from the chilling scenes. However, we didn't consider that the audience may be confused as to what had happened because we knew exactly was happening but then we thought about how it would look from the audience's point of view. This is when we realised we needed a narrator of some sort to set the story straight. During conversation about how we could do this, we had a light bulb moment and suggested using the sound of a news report as a voice over during the opening credits. So we chose a member of the group to have their voice recorded. However, as we're all teenage girls, our voice's aren't really what you'd expect to hear on a news report so we edited the clip using Garage Band. The dialogue with the opening music chosen still in the background together creates an eerie, sad tone for the beginning of the film, this is so that when the scene's of the young girl begin, they feel sympathetic to her, and want to help her, intriguing them into the film.
The monologue script:
"Breaking News - Yet again another teenage disappearance has been reported. As of yesterday this has been the 19th abduction within the past six weeks. The victim is 17 years old and is currently studying for her A-Levels. Her parents, Deborah and Martin Robinson are holding out in the hope that Daisy will once again be reunited with them so that they can live a normal life."
I think this dialogue will be effective Shannon.
