Title : ”Guilt”

Central proposition or Introduction:   If the classical narrative structure with a nonlinear form was applied to a music video genre, the benefits of film making techniques could enhance the form of music videos.

 

Aim:  My aim is to merge filmmaking with music video using classical narrative structure with a nonlinear form.  I will achieve creating a short movie that interpolates with music video, using horror and thriller as the genre . The music will be a heavy metal piece as it blends nicely with those two genres. I will be composing the music as well as all creating all sound effects for this video thereby avoiding all copyright issues associated with this project.  The music will be a heavy metal piece as this style blends nicely with the horror and thriller movie genre.  It will feature fast tempos (130-150 bpm), orchestrations, choirs, minor scales (to create a sad mood to the melody) and distorted guitars

Design brief:  I will create a narrative about someone who has lost track of reality, as the result of loss of a family member. The whole issue is driven by guilt as the main character is somehow responsible for the death of that person.  I want to play with idea of the duality between reality and fantasy through madness. I will use influences from horror and thriller movies taking some iconographic elements from these two genres and applying them to the narrative. There will be just 2 characters –  the late husband (just present on the main character’s nightmare) and the wife (main character) .
