addition to previous post
I realized I forgot to actually address the prompt…. and don’t know how to edit my posts
As I stated that Koslov stated, people object to voice over because they think it is “sloppy”, or “not real film art”. They have very rigid ideas about what film should be– that it should “[connect] Image A via editing, camera or lens movement with Image B, and the effect is meanings C, D, and E expressed without explanation.”
Koslov defends it because she feels that it is a very underrated, yet popular and important, aspect of film, and does so through the ways I listed in my previous post.
I’ve seen some movies with voice over, and watched some shows– clueless (which I am going to do for my project), fight club, About a Boy, and the wonder years. I never noticed the voice over before, but now that I think about it I think that it added to my experience and understanding.
I started watching Clueless again the other day, and already I am noticing that the narration is giving me insights into Cher’s personality that I would not gain from the visuals alone.
