We knew that when we first went out to film Insanity, that the sound recorded on set wouldn't be higher quality. Mainly because we didn't have an external microphone which would pick up a much better quality of sound than the microphone built in. When we were on set, the wind was very strong and being out in the open meant that there was no cover for the camera. This meant that all of the sound recorded on set was unusable. This meant that all sound used in our opening must be non-diegetic.
The first non-diegetic sound we used was Charlie Chaplin's 'The Final Dictator' speech. This is a strong speech and the words in the speech were contrerdicting (and at parts backing up) what he was saying. We chose this speech because it is a strong speech and it is about us, the human race.
We then decided to co ordinate the radio shot with the sound of the speech being turned off. It fitted in well; the sound and the film matched.
