Lets Prime the Pump

I'm not sure if we're suppose to post about our projects but I figure good if we are and if not... well it will just help me think a little more about it.
I figured I could do a simple movie project but take a serious aproach to it. I want to take a short scene I write and apply different ways of setting it up that will hopefully affect how you convey the message being sent. Hopefully I will be able to right something ambiguos that they are talking about so what they are saying and what you are interpreting will change.I don't want filming it to be ver complicated to so there will probably just a still camera; this will give something consistant through out each scene and help tie them more together.
The scene will be shot 5 or six times:
1.Normal Scene (base for the rest)
2.Costumes (something ridiculous, that might give a new message)
3.Music (have suddle music in all the scenes that is the same, but this one it is completly different)
4.Location (somewhere different from all the other scenes, that seems displaced)
5.Sock Puppets? (some kind of puppet or device that will be used insted of actors)
6.How They Speak (each actor will speak in a different manner; i.e. yelling, whispering...)

I hope this ends up working because it feels like something I'd enjoy and seems like it makes sense with trying to understand different ways of visually communicating. I'll try to keep updates but we'll see how things pan out, hopefully for the best.
