Creative Project Realisation: Ideas on Identity

For the main assignment in this module I am interested in exploring the theme of human identity and internal conflict within a person. The main idea I am focusing on consists of a man in a series of similar rooms each one reflecting a different part of his personality. In each room my character will exhibit emotions and actions relevant to that room's theme. Here are my ideas for these themes so far:
       - Vanity
       - Stress
       - Love
       - Sorrow
       - Madness
       - Greed
       - Paranoia
 I am particularly interested in creating an installation for this film rather than screening it in the standard format. My idea for this revolves around Televisions and links into my final shot. In the 'last room'. Basically I would like to surround my audience with televisions in a room, each one playing my movie but starting from a different room (this would mean I'd need to do several edits of the piece) so that my audience are bombarded with each aspect of the man's personality at once. The timing of this is intricate as I want my final room to show at the end of each television playthrough so that each is synched together unlike the confusion of the other rooms.

THE FINAL ROOM
  Here I want all sound to fade and for the room before last to begin to zoom out revealing that the film was being played to the man on a television in the same room. In the same way that my audience are viewing it. In this way I hope to link the audience with the man and have them reflect on their own personality as he is literally viewing his.
