Just a quick little look into blacking out faces, excepting the mouth. I really like the idea that one of the tv screens would feature 2 mouths, possibly speaking over each other.
Of course another possibility is that all of the tv screens would feature 2 mouths conversing, that would set the whole concept further from merely being a retelling and would better include my theme of "Spaces in Conversation".

Just a simple fold out of screen shots from "Not I", beside it I want to put a series of photos of my own mouth.
This is 'Cow Hall' and its the first edited piece from my recordings of conversations. It's called 'Cow Hall' because the ambient sound you can hear comes from Cow Hall in the college.
Had a tutorial with Paul Gardiner and he suggested I look more into the idea of visual contrasting sound.
He suggested looking at a couple of these movies and animations.
Basically the idea is to look at contrasting visual and sound. Personally I want to go into a pub and record the conversation there, then placing that sound against the visual of maybe children playing, it's a very simple take on innocence vs the eh not so innocent.
Another reference Paul gave me to look at was Ice T's documentary on rap;
