So all these questions re-emerged in my mind after watching the show 'lie to me', it being about lying and all. Something key to the show is the close ups on peoples face's as they lie and their expressions are noted and analyzed. It's very interesting being so close to their face and having all the little facial expressions (tell tale signs of a lie) pointed out. Our face is very much our identity.. not in the way it can't be changed , because it can. but if you got hit in the face with a bus and had to get a new one (a face that is not a bus, it might just need some soap and water), would your identity be any different? I don't think it would because it's not so much what your face looks like that determines identity but what you do with your face. and i don't mean using your face in strange ways like painting walls with it, thats not really identity, I think it's just called weird. I mean the expression you make with it. we can gauge allot about a person form their facial expressions, more so than body language. and probably less than words, but I'm more interested here, and don't words come from your face anyway?
Point is liars or not, i think we're all liars actually, 'lying' or not facial expressions say alot. I think in my site i would like to include lots of close ups of faces, bit of faces, and expressions on those bits of faces.
This promo clip for lie to me also intrigued me, it reminded me alot of the mixed faces we look at at the start of semester.
