Planning of final outcome

After looking through the different installations by Joyce Owens I have decided on my final outcome design. I wanted to include the 'old wives tale', 'knock on wood' within my final outcome as this was one of the main 'old wives tales' that my mother used to tell me when I was younger. I decided to use two boards in which would touch somehow which then brought me to the idea of hinging them together in order for them to be permanently connected and therefore 'touching/knocking' together.

As another aspect of my final outcome I am going to film my family speaking about what their mothers told them about 'old wives tales' when they were younger. There will also be a few clips of family relations to show the relationships and generations throughout my family. This I have decided will be projected onto one of my two boards in order to link both my video with the 'old wives tale', 'knock on wood'.

Even though this is a good link I still have a board that would be empty, so I decided to link the emphasis of generations even further within my final outcome by having photographs of the mothers of the people in the video on the spare board. This will link to both the board and the video in which will create a much better viewing of my final piece. For the photographs I will ask the people I videoed to take their own photos of their mothers in which will let me and the audience have an insight into how they view their mother and not one photograph will be the same, they will all be unique and sacred in their own way. I am also going to use lettering within my final outcome which will read - 'Mother knows best...', '...but is it always the truth?' I feel that this will link my whole final outcome together as the rhetorical question will really add emphasis to the thought of 'are old wives tales actually true?' Here is a diagram of what my final outcome will look like:
