A freudian theme within a film

If i were to create a film that incorporated it within itself it would be as followed.

the film would essentially be an avert guard piece. the film would cut between a subject involved in various situations that conflict him morally and  subjectively. the idea is very lose but her are some examples of scenes that i would incorporate the theory.

an individual comes across a corpse of a girl at a house party that he himself hosts, the camera would cut to his hands against the camera, covered and dripping with blood, the expression upon his face is one of obvious guilt, almost for the corpses perspective, he himself would not say anything, rather the shot cuts to the ID and the SuperEgo shouting to each other within a tight two shot within a location that has no connection to the action stated previous, possibly against a black background.

The ID would argue that the subject should run, never associate himself with the crime that he has so obviously committed, whereas the SuperEgo would argue back, saying that he should surrender, surrender himself to the higher authority.
All the while this scene would cut rapidly between the shots of the Super Ego and ID arguing, to the id crying into his hands, blood dripping from his hands, and his face

Another scene that i think would be interesting within this film would be if a subject happened across a car crash. the audience would never see the car crash, but would rather hear the screams, the tears and pain of the car crash, all for off screen. The camera would again be focussed on the subjects face, never moving or panning or racing according to his movements. The audience would simply be an observer of the subject, nothing more.

The camera would again cut rapidly to a static shot of the Id and the SuperEgo against a background, the two arguing against a black background. dissimilarly to the previous scene, the Id and the SuperEgo would portray themselves more violently this time. there words becoming more violent than the previous time. the difference between the two would become almost indifferent.

the camera will fade to black upon the subject witnessing the car crash. his face staring, with horror, upon the hour he is watching.

the final shot of the film would consist of an extremely slow zoom of our subject stirring on a sofa, with him whipping his head back in agony, his hands gripping against his hair. just as we did for our previous scenes, the scene would cut, this time almost rapidly against the subjects playing the Id and the SuperEgo, screaming at each other, unaligably. almost suddenly the subject would pull handgun out of know where, point it to his temple. the camera wold cut the ID,The SuperEgo, standing there motionless, speechless. the subject would slowly pull a gun to his temple, all the while cut a staticframe shots of the two aspects of the conscious arguing.. the scene would cut end to sound of gunshot, we would cut to the two aspects of the brain falling ti the ground. we would end at a static shot of wide shot of the individual, blood seeping from his nose.
