#6 Using Voiceover as a Storytelling Tool

     Hey guys, welcome back to my blog! I'm back with another post, and today we'll be talking about how there are so many different sounds in filmmaking, but one in particular catches my attention. Can you guess what it is?

     If you guessed using voiceover as a storytelling tool, you are 100% correct. Now, let me tell you why I picked this topic out of many. First, I have already used this method to create my own voiceover storytelling without filming, just using sound. The experience was great, and I had fun working with the editing to tell the story.

     I made my voiceover storytelling on Cap Cut due to my lack of editing skills, but I am eager to learn more to advance my knowledge. This skill will benefit me in my Cambridge exams and any other editing projects I might undertake in the future.

     The voiceover story I created was about a man who was sick, ended up in an ambulance, and then in a hospital bed, where he slowly starts to die. It was a dead giveaway because I ensured all the sounds were noticeable enough to guess what was happening as if you were seeing it. I made sure to put all the sounds together so it sounded like they came from the same man—it was so spot on you would think it was an old man.

     I will provide an example at the end so you can see what I am explaining and get a better understanding. Hopefully, you can come up with your own perspective of it and maybe even get a whole other story out of it. Keep a close ear on what you hear.
