Dictionary definition reads that a Voice-over is a technique to add narrative not part of the original script to describe something. Usually involves a voice that is not part of the main production.
The latest movie we watched called 'In a World' starring Lake Bell who is writer, director and lead character portrays the role of a female voice with the right sound attributes needed to do voice-overs.
The movie which I picked from a recently returned film cart at the library was surprisingly funny in an oddball way and introduced me to a world of film making from an altogether new perspective.
It can take armies of people to produce a film from the busboys serving beverages to the staff of a studio to the actual directors and producers and lead actors. This enterprise also has to market itself successfully to its potential audiences worldwide and the role of the preview or trailers as they are called in India is to do just that.
In a world - as the title reads - are the famous three words that were used often to introduce moviegoers to a coming attraction and read by a deep base voice of Donny Fontaine who died in LA some time back. But the role that Bell plays is a take off from that idea where she goes from singing jingles for orange juice pitches to the new and drastic voice-over for a major motion picture quadrilogy.
Witty without being gross but slow at times this film was an interesting watch. Four stars.
