Working on Assignment n#1 - changing idea

After thinking and having long coversations over a glass of wine with my roomates, I decided to dive into the mirror idea and give up the Kaleidoscope effect/plot video. Satisfied of having proof to myself that I can decide to want to build something and than doing it, I realized that it seemes to me more 'experimental' to work with the time that it takes for a mirror to fog up.

This is what I will do:
-Camera will be fixed on one angle in the bathroom. The shoot will include the mirror, and some details of the betroom. I will use a grand-angle to increase the range of the shot.
-I will record the mirror and the camera lense fogging up, while my character stands infront of the mirror. All it will be visible of the character is the reflected image and part of the shoulder and head.
-Once I will have that I will projected and rewind it at a very slow speed so that the mirror will actually de fog, leaving us with the image of a lady infront of the mirror.
-To end the video, the lady will open her mouth and smoke will slowly come out.

There is one other elements that I want to try out, but I am not sure I will include. One is to have a drawing slowly appear on the side of the phrame like a "etch-a-sketch" effect. I would do this effect having a clear sheet of paper that I put between the projection and the camera. And I will just try to use a stop-motion effect to make it increase slowly. All this will be in the right side of the screen, while the lady is on the left hand side.

Poetic/Concept: I think this video would be concern with the idea of time passing. Both the smoke/fog and the drawing progress slowly. A simple action that happens in 90 seconds.

I am still working on the reason why having smoke in her mouth. All I can think now it is because she is breathing her surroundings, so once she gets rid of the fog surrounding her, she has to get rid of the fog that is inside her. All is functional to reach a clarity.
