Proceeding Problems

My first video, or performance piece were I applied paint to Tasha's face had seen such a great response, so good in fact that I started to believe this was the route to take.
Me and Tasha decided that we should set aside a day for filing. However someone had booked the darkroom for over two weeks. This meant that we couldn't do what I had originally planned. However I decided to improvise and we sent of to Tasha's.

Firstly I got Tasha to sit in  in the chair and I painted her face completely dark blue - as I wanted there to be a base to start with.

When this had finished I set out some black paint and some white paint and directer her with what to do during the performance. They all came out really well but I wasn't a hundred percent sure if it was enough. I wanted to try something new. During my tutorial a couple of people mentioned, why don't you ever evolve yourself in your performances? Why don't YOU be the  main focus?
So I wanted to test this out. I asked Tasha if she'd mind filming me while I do my performance. I loved it. These videos not only showed process, performance and the application of paint. But where Tasha had a certain violent quality mine was a little more vulnerable. I was so happy with my performance.

We also filmed each other taking off the paint, firstly with Tasha in the shower and secondly with me using the sink. I was scared because we both needed separate work, because Tasha filmed my performance, was it her work? - Or was it mine? I asked her to film me for my work, but she did direct me in some ways as to where to apply the paint. So we were both left confused. It was my initial idea, my performance, and my project so I believed it was mine work.

Mostly I wanted to keep the first film, where I was the main focus. Because I had some many ideas for it! I told Tasha this and we both agreed that would be fine. So I told her what I had planned to do with it - get a friend of mine Stephan broad at the Chichester university music department to compose me a piece of music to go along side it, and to edit it in a way that the paint was the main focus.

Excited I set off home and we agreed to see each-other the next day.
The next day arrived and she wanted to show me a video she said she'd edited. I was so disheartened when I saw it was the video of my performance edited in the way I had originally said. Even if she had done it on accident I was still disappointed. - I felt I had lost my whole idea in a single day.

However we both proceeded to work separately from that moment on - because neither of us knew where the true situation lie.
