Seven Deadly Sins Update

Project description – a short experimental film that explores the influence of three of the seven deadly sins—pride, greed, and wrath—on the protagonist of the hit show Breaking Bad, Walter White, in his iconic “I am the one who knocks” speech. 

3 Narrative Threads
  1. The through line will be the sound bite from his monologue 
  2. Manipulation of video clips, opacity/blending modes, and various compositions to hint at the larger plot of the series and more importantly convey the specific sin being showcased in the sound bite 
  3. Accompanying expressive type used to complement the tone, mood, and tempo of the lines heard verbally
This is a work in progress to get feedback before I fully commit to this project idea. My original idea evolved so much once I actually sat down and started playing around in Premiere. I spent a lot of my time this week really trying to narrow down my focus within this multimedia format. One of my top priorities for the final draft is to improve upon and add to the existing expressive text. One way I plan to do this is by adding more intentional motion and transitions to the type as well (e.g. the way the word “disappears” literally dissolves away with the clips towards the end of the work in progress).
