We look at the opening sequence of Love Actually (dir. Richard Curtis, 2003) and analyse the use of the voice-over. We make a list of other types of soundtrack used during opening credits. We notice how sound can establish genre. We discuss the use of authentic original footage. We brainstorm how the following could be used:
radio broadcast voice over (news of kidnap) as used by Claremont students for the film opening about the assassination of JFK
- television news broadcast voice over (local or national threat /disaster / warning)
vintage voice broadcast voice over (such as Winston Churchill) as used in student film Blitz, which we screen
song (screening of Ae Fond Kiss, (dir. Ken Loach, 2004) which follows Tahara's school assembly speech and anchors the film's meaning
