Step one isolate all character introductions in the episode of Poirot entitled The Mysterious Affair at Styles.
Step two Isolate the same Character descriptions in the audio book of the same name.
Step 3 pair the audio with the visual.
By following this process I am highlighting the discrepancies that exist between the two mediums. We will be able to see the ways in which video can simplify the written word, where it may over simplify from the original text, and where creative choice on the part of a director can altar a story from the original.
This would have been better if I could have figure out how to take video off youtube and altar it. I had to take screen shots for the images I wanted and put them with the audio. A truer juxtaposition would have been nice. However somethings about this perticular process were very interesting. Like how much time is allotted to each characters introduction.
