Voice Over Shite.

Sally finally received the letter which Jack wrote for her 40 years ago. She rub the dust on the envelope and opened the letter. As soon she began to read it, a 25 year old Jack started to reappear in her memory as she started to reminisce the way Jack used to be. *Voice over of the letter begin.*

This voice over shite definitely a genius metaphor fantasize by the director. I didn't know who started the trend but it is definitely great thing since it can created a cliche in film industries. Anyway, I started to think about this stuff because of a message that I received earlier this morning. I was half asleep and seems to fantasize about the way of the sender used to talk. As if he talks directly to me. And it suddenly started to creep me out...somehow.

How about this, oh fellow young director, how about make a voice over scene in such an awkward situation? A simple one like these;

Midon felt that his butt is heavier than usual today. However, because of last night Midon got a motivational talk by his superior, today he rise with the new spirit of steels. Against all odds, Midon bravely started his car early in the morning just to fought for his cause. After about an hour journey to the rendezvous point, Midon received a long elaborate e-mail by his tactical leader. As Midon began to read the message, the image of his tactical leader appear clearly on Midon's head as if his leader tried to convey a secret tactical espionage message to him.

*Voice over begin*

"Attention to all troops, today meeting is canceled due to our rendezvous point is currently under a serious heavy attack by a group of suicidal architect. Apparently, we had orders to add a nice hot spa in our camp. BUT! I have a special tasks for all of you. There's a huge pile of report needed to be done in HQ. Please headed there pronto and finish it ASAP!"

Midon suddenly felt like a real bloody fart and begin to change his course to a nearby strip club instead of the headquarters.
