Due to the nature of my previous work I wanted to include something unique in my response. Not only will I show and explain the things I have worked on for this essay. But I wanted to include a hidden message. For example: Looking at the film Fight Club there is a scene where you are introduced to one of the main characters:  
FIGHT CLUB SCRIPT: 
     
     INT. PROJECTIONIST ROOM - THEATRE - NIGHT
     Jack, in the foreground, FACES CAMERA.  In the BACKGROUND,
     Tyler sits at a bench, looking at individual FRAMES cut from
     movies.  Near him, a PROJECTOR rolls film.
                             JACK
                 Tyler was a night person.  He
                 sometimes worked as a projectionist.
                 A movie doesn't come in one big reel,
                 it's on a few.  In old theaters, two
                 projectors are used, so someone has
                 to change projectors at the exact
                 second when one reel ends and
                 another reel begins.  Sometimes you
                 can see two dots on screen in the
                 upper right hand corner...
     Tyler points to the side of OUR FRAME and the TWO DOTS
     briefly APPEAR ONSCREEN.
                             TYLER
                 They're called "cigarette burns."
                             JACK
                 It's called a "changeover."  The
                 movie goes on, and nobody in the
                 audience has any idea
In my head the changeover idea meant I could flicker images on the screen whilst I was talking. If you were to play the video backwards the flickering images would have been stills of a stop motion.
However, in practice this idea was too complex. This is because to produce a decent stop motion hundreds of photos would have to be taken. That would mean in the essay response the flickering images would distract you from what was actually being said.
