Voice-over

Our documentary research has indicated we should intergrate a voice-over into our product. So what is a voice-over- "Voice-over (also known as off-camera or off-stage commentary) is a production technique where a voice—that is not part of the narrative is used in a media production". We now understand that the voice-over is pre-recored and placed over the top of the video and used to explain information. We subsequently scripted a voice over for our: introucution, retail, metropolitain police and rioter sections using facts and quotes where we could to accomidate for the 'explain information' element.

We then recored our voice-overs. We soon relaised that our voice-over didnt sound appropriate, my voice was to soft. We then looked into who would could do our voice-over. Short list: Garry Veale, Callum Pearce and Tom Barden. We approched our teacher Mrs Micheals and asked her opinion, she thought that Garry Veale's voice was most appropriate.  

Script 

Between Saturday 6th and Thursday 11 August 2011, thousands of people rioted in several London boroughs and in cities and towns across England; the resulting chaos generated looting, arson, and mass deployment of police.

Disturbances began on Saturday 6 August 2011, after a protest in Tottenham following the death of Mark Duggan, a local who was shot dead by police on Thursday 4 August 2011. Several violent clashes with police ensued, along with the destruction of police vehicles, a magistrates' court, a double-decker bus, and many civilian homes and businesses, thus rapidly gaining attention from the media. Overnight, looting took place in Tottenham Hale Retail Park and nearby Wood Green.

As of 15 August, about 3,100 people had been arrested, of whom more than 1,000 had been charged. Arrests, charges and court proceedings continue. Initially, courts sat for extended hours. There were a total of 3,443 crimes across London linked to the disorder. Emergency calls on Monday night saw a 300% increase, from 5,400 normally to 20,800. Along with the five deaths, at least 16 others were injured as a direct result of related violent acts. An estimated £200 million worth of property damage was incurred, and local economic activity was significantly compromised.
