we were inspired to use a voice over in our product by a range of films and tv shows to let you see what the character is thinking, and we didn't want our character to be talking to herself throughout our product so we decided to let the voiceover be her thoughts, to let the viewer understand what she is going through, the flashbacks also help the viewer feel like they are hearing and seeing her thoughts. it gives the character another personality to what other characters may see. we did some research on voice overs and found; 'In film, the film-maker places the sound of a human voice (or voices) over images shown on the screen that may or may not be related to the images being shown. Consequently, voice-overs are sometimes used to create ironic counterpoint. Also, sometimes they can be random voices not directly connected to the people seen on the screen. In works of fiction, the voice-over is often by a character reflecting back on his or her past, or by a person external to the story who usually has a more complete knowledge of the events in the film than the other characters.'
