Project Changes – Removal of Dialogue

On 28th October 2015 Stewart Whitworth decided he no longer wanted a narrator for the trailer.  Therefore I have discarded the original plan of finding a voice actor who can imitate the voice of Don LaFontaine aka ‘trailer voice guy’  to reflect the over the top commentary often found in 1980s action films and video games. Stewart wants to create a more serious tone by using text instead of dialogue for the intro/outro logo and description of gameplay mechanics/environments.

 

With regards to Anahid Kassabian’s ‘attention continuum’ she writes how ‘In each specific case, the rest of the soundtrack and other aspects of the film define the limits of the music’s prominence’ (Kassabian, 2001, 55). In my case the dialogue has been removed allowing the music to be more prominent and receive a greater level of attention from the audience. Furthermore the same applies to sound effects and video.
