JADED MUSIC VIDEO CREATIVE PROPOSAL .
To represent the concept of harakiri: an ancient Japanese practice of ritual suicide, particularly associated with samurai warriors.
Harakiri is not only a demonstration of courage in the face of death but also a reaffirmation of control over one’s own destiny—a final sacrifice aimed at restoring personal and familial dignity.
In its symbolism, this tradition embodies the value of integrity, where life itself is offered to preserve something greater: honor and legacy.
Through a detailed sequence, we will explore the ritualistic calm and emotional tension surrounding this sacrifice,
focusing on the gestures, tools, and symbols that define the ceremony.
We will see the protagonist face his destiny with a blend of honor and introspection,
leading the viewer to understand the depth of harakiri as both a physical and spiritual act.

We will shoot in a single location, giving the place a mystical aura.
Every corner will reflect solemnity and spirituality, while the lighting and details will complement the protagonist's journey.
The visual aspect will be defined by the use of darkness, where shadows will hold as much, if not more, importance than the light itself.
We will shoot everything on a tripod or with very smooth camera movements to enhance the composition of the image and represent the calmness of the moment.
The color grading will be in black and white, with a lot of texture to evoke the feel of analog film.
