Auditory

Project Overview

This project is going to essentially be a "blind film" in that the story will be told entirely through audio rather than any visuals. It can be compared to an audio book that does not have a narrator. This film will be published on YouTube under the channel, Shadow Sniper Films.

Here is a brief outline of the story: (running time, ~8-10 minutes)

*Being played through a recorded audio tape resting on a table

A man comes home from his usual day of work (unknown job, characters remain ambiguous in the story). After greeting his son and sending the teen off to do his homework, he encounters his wife in the kitchen, preparing food for dinner. He attempts to initiate conversation with her but is met with deadly passive aggressive comments. 

These escalate into a full-blown argument in which the wife tells him of her knowledge dealing with his office affair. He desperately tries to save himself at first but eventually just confesses to the act and explains to her why it happened. Trying to end the conversation peacefully, the man finds himself at the end of a barrel attached to a handgun the wife possesses. 

Just before she makes the final squeeze to end his life, the son walks in and makes the attempt to stop the violence. A gunshot can be heard but who the bullet found its way to is unknown and the tape recording ends.

  • Passive aggressive tone, "I'm sure it does, just like that slut does too."

  • Almost violently, "And how the hell do you plan on doing that, huh?"

  • With a serious and clear voice, "That's not important, now sit down."
