I have decided against recording a speech to go over my video. I feel that I would not be able to get anyone to do it and therefore it would weaken the project overall. I also felt that because the project is such a person piece of work, it felt wrong to get somebody else to do the speech and I did not feel comfortable myself to do it.
I felt that my first project on the MA course was my strongest. I produced a book in which I included photographs based around social anxiety and then paired them with text that was handwritten. This gave the work a very personal feel which is something I feel could be lost within this project.
I have decided that instead of using speech within my project to use the same writing that I used within the same project. I feel this will make the work feel a lot more personal again and was one of the strongest elements of the first project. I will experiment with placing it after certain images and flashing the text on the screen quickly so that the viewer is given glimpses of what the video is about.
