Major Project Development: Narration

I wanted this short film to have a detached narrator, a voice inside my protagonists head like a conscience that guides him through his journey. Considering my intention to play with the Greek Tragedy Structure; I thought it would be appropriate to write four short odes or poems which would fill the position of the chorus within a Classical Greek Tragedy. I ended up writing quite a few versions as well as attempting to write a sonnet and diamand poems. I end I settled on four line stanzas with a rhyming pattern of ABCB and a syllable pattern of 8889. Here is the final versions of my poems, the first two will be spoken during each forest sequence with the third and fourth being spoken during the epilogue and the Doubt sequence respectively.

Entrance Ode

Those who look to higher beings,
Concern themselves with love and life,
Instead of stumbling in the dark,
They place their faith in a guiding light.

Second Ode

But not all follow faith in Gids,
They turn away from them, for good,
Content dismissing all their faith,
To find pleasure in the Pathless Woods.

Exit Ode

So we drift ever on, through time,
Without a guardian, or friend,
All we are, or have been before,
Will haunt us now, to our journey's end.

Doubt Ode

In the moonlight, among the trees,
The seven solitudes await,
No longer flowing out, through time,
We become the doubt that we create.
