Composition of Music, Narration and Style
(Note: If you see any massive gaps in my blog this means there was a video there and it hasn't loaded on your browser, if this happens then please try reopening the blog in another browser option (Internet Explorer, Fire Fox or other).
The style in which my film will be delivered will be in a prologue voice narration while the visual elements have been shown. I have researched into media that is similar and in fact very close to the style I will be using. The video game Mafia features a close resemblance to the style of delivery I have in mind. The voice contrast with the music are clearly in synchronisation with each other and contribute to one another. I plan to create a similar music film score to the one you will hear in this ending scene from Mafia 1.
Also pay close attention to how the narrator makes the story personally relevant to the listener as he uses keywords like 'You' and 'the world'. This is a very clever choice of words because in every human being there are two things that will always be important to him or her and that is themselves and the world around them. If he simply just said 'the world is run by all types of people', this wouldn't be as interesting as saying 'You know, the world is not always run by what is written on books', it makes the listener become more engaged with the story and draws them in.
The reason I chose Mafia as a great source of media research into the style of the narration composition is not only due to its success as a game that is known for drawing audiences in to the story very effectively but the story in Mafia 1 is also about a man who got mislead in life and who went down a path of destruction and his desperate attempt to escape the Mafia was successful for most of his youth as he was put under witness protection and put his mobster boss 'Mr Salieri behind bars but many years later as an old man he is watering his plants in his front garden when he is paid a visit by two men who openly shot gun him on behalf of Mr Salieri.
The moral of this story is that you made get away with doing bad for a while but it will eventually catch up to you which is similar to my previous research into the Pinocchio story where I spoke about how he mislead away from his responsibilities by the Wolf and the Weasel who were only out to use him.
I will write my script narration based on both Tommy Angelo (Main protagonist from Mafia 1) and Pinocchio's perspective of the story as if they were both dead and telling this story as a somewhat ghost to warn others of the mistakes they made.
