Drinking Signs

I am thinking about presenting some of these signs to the audience in a subtle way. I am leaning toward possibly having little audio bits of phrases that suggest a few of the signs. For example getting defensive when people comment on drinking could be translated to just "Its only one more glass, calm down for fuck sakes".  Having lines like that suggest the alcohol as well as hostility and revealing who the character is even though it will be voiced by my self.

Crime Scene Locations

I have always been interested with feeling that lingers in places where really bad things have happened. For the most part even though they cleaned up after the incident and also changed the furniture, the wall color, carpets, etc The thought and feeling is still there. Its weird because it could be something that happened so long ago but is felt by strangers. Now it is a different thing all together when the victim returns to this scene or has to live in the space it occupies. Sure they change everything but from time to time emotions are felt from the past.  With what happened with my mother, I get moments where i look at my couch where she used to sit and it hits me again. It lingers in my mind in the form of audio as I stand and stare. Its that moment of the day where every thing else going on stops. It feels the world stops spinning in that moment. It is living with a scar and remembering how you got it despite it almost being unnoticeable. I have not spoken to her in years but she speaks to me with these halts in time.

An Audio Thought

I am really interested with the overall mood. The key thing that sticks out for me is the audio and how it can make a simple shot so off putting.  The beginning especially relates to what I'm thinking about for my project. This chatter that is not clear that sounds like a swarm of noise. I am also looking at the way it begins to rise as it continues to play but most importantly how it comes to a sudden stop. It might be an idea to appropriate this method to my video.
