Today we tracked down the elusive Andy Popperwell to be the narrator of our documentary, and it sounds fantastic as he has recieved pronounciation and uses standard english. And that is precisely why we chose to use him. He speaks with such elegance and puts emphasis on words at the right places that are typical of a documentary. It gives a sense of formality to the documentary that would otherwise be scarce as it is filmed, edited and directed by three amateurs. We did write quite alot of material for our voiceover and Andy was quite stunned at the amount but, we wanted to make sure we had more than enough to be on the safe side. Because whilst editing, i can change my mind at different times with what approach i want to go about with.
We are very happy that we were able to use him, the only thing is, i have leanred that a lot of people are also thinking of using him for the same advantages we did. We do like to take a different approach to things rather than the typical components people are using with their documentary, but because he is simply so fantastic who can refuse! We will sure enough buy him a card to show our thanks once this is all over!
