In the initial research the film Se7en shows sloth as a man who has been tied down to bed and left to decay for a year. When found he appears to be dead, but he is in fact alive.
My further research into Sloth I found that the meaning has changed over time. In the 17th century the meaning of Sloth was the failure to utilize ones talents and gifts. The more contemporary view goes further by seeing all laziness and indifference as a sin.
My research also showed that Sloth is considered the least serious sin compared with the other sins.
a sin of omission than of commission.
I felt the older meaning of Sloth as a sin would be easier to portray than just laziness. Talent made me think of musical talent and thats where my planning began.
Planning
I created a theme board with the picture of the girl who will feature as "Sloth" in this scene.
From the themeboard the idea of wasted time and talent is what gave me the idea for the piece.
The idea began with me thinking the girl would be playing saxophone and through editing i'd make it look like time was passing then she'd become frustrated and look up and there the figure of lust would be. It will be as if the thought of him makes her fail to utilize her talents.
I created a storyboard for the idea with a saxophone.
But then when I tried to book a room to film this scene in at school it was unavailable so I came up with a knew idea which would be easier to organize to film. This was with the girl playing a piano at a friends house rather than it being her playing a saxophone. The figure of lust is in the same way as above.
Here is the first storyboard (with a saxophone)-

Preparation of the video shoot day 3 of 6
Location-
A friend allowed me to use his house and piano for this scene.
This was the room before we removed everything and cleaned the floor and piano.
These pictures show the room after the clean and me testing the lighting with the blinds closed but curtains open but then deciding that the lighting works better with the curtains closed.
This was the other light set up to light up the girls face.
For the girl to play piano and look believable for half an hour before we began filming the friend who owns the piano gave her some lessons in how to play and make it look as real as possible.
