Post freak out feedback.

I am creating a taster of multiple tastes for audiences to go "huh, wow" and go to the exhibition.

1st part—targeting through every day touch points.
2nd part—providing a twist by connecting our every day to soldier's everyday story evoking a "huh wow".
3rd part—directing audiences to the exhibition.

Create intrigue by juxtaposing our everyday and their everyday.

The reason no one left a solemn boy and returned a smiling man.
Juxtaposition of going and returning. He left as something and returned something else. Innocence lost Sometimes as a better man. They grew up in a hurry, became boys to men. Returned traumatized but as better people. Positive?

List out both, and make twists.

Use our everyday and make a comment on their everyday.

Eg. wake up—get dressed (they are already dressed, with lice), brush teeth (no water to brush with), breakfast. getting to work, workplace, food, cafes, coffee break, lunch.

Toilet paper. Wet. No toilet paper.

Find stories that we don't hear of. Unheard stories of war.
All sorts of tasters, good and bad, funny and sad.
eg. bonding in communal toilets.
eg. sound: crying (what type of crying?)— Tell story of (name) friend crying in no mans land, been shot, trapped in mud, about to die but nothing can be done.

eg. smell good: that was a smell that they didn't smell for four years.

Food: can you give me a sense of what it was like through words? Do I actually have to physically see it?

There needs to be a twist. eg. Our everyday: Baby's cry—twisted to a story of a soldier. 

Make and try things out, write things out.

Movie theatre.
Sound: baby crying.

There was a certain atmosphere that spread. Scared of being scared.

Coffee cup:
What is the connection of the cup and context—The time it takes you to drink this coffee is the only rest we got. This saved my life every day. 
What does no rest look like? Physical effects, tiredness. Climbing, walking, marching, 

Fighting only took up ___% of their time.
