Okay...I'm going to animate this in Flash, each block of text will be an animated section...typography and color choice will be the same (black and white because of her mother's black-and-white world view, in addition to hearkening to an older age, as will the typeface itself)...I have a few images of 1950s homemaking ads and some video image I've converted and inverted into black-and-white and negatives that will play intermittently on the background underneath the animated text...I'm going to put a soundtrack of white noise (AKA static) that will increase in volume up to the end, where it will shut off and the two white-faced texts (the daughter talking directly to her mother and her mother's response), will come onscreen...those are the thoughts thus far.
In the beginning the text will come across slowly with enough time to read; then it will come across in a chunk; then without proper punctuation; then with no spacing and with all the letters run unintelligibly together to mimic the vocal patterns of this lifelong harangue...I also moved lines out of linear structure and will remove words and lines, alphabetic components and the like towards the end...
So, yeah. That's the basic outline thus far. I'm calling it GRL RMXD (Girl Remixed), because it's a mashup and remixing of Jamaica Kincaid's work.
