As of yet I'm unsure whether to use a soundtrack or VoiceOver. Both have advantages which makes it rather difficult to decide on which to use.
The VoiceOver
+ Meets the conventions of the thriller genre
+ Highlights key plot points
- Doesn't match the action on screen
- No part in the opening which can show who is actually talking
Soundtrack
+ Depending on what audio is chosen it matches the actions onscreen
+ Emphasises the pace and destruction of the piece
- Doesn't allow any narrative to come into the piece so to speak
- Might have too many complications for when I use slow motion
Overall I think equally both have the positives I need for my opening so I may in fact use both. For example I could have a short VoiceOver to introduce the scene and continue with a soundtrack.
