My original idea for my narrative was to have a boy and girl who were separated from each other because society is corrupt and it doesn't allow them to be together kind of like Romeo and Juliet where they are divided because of a family feud. This idea came from after I chose my song The Groove by Muse I decided to watch some Muse music videos for inspiration as Muse usually have a wide variety of styles of videos that have messages and deeper meanings on topics such as corrupt government, love and the end of the world. My initial idea was inspired by the Music video for the song Madness
In the first 29 seconds of the music video it establishes the idea of a man and woman who are stuck in a world full of corruption and it has divided them because they can not be together whilst society is so corrupt.
This was how I came up with my initial idea but after much thought and consideration I decided to change my idea to something that might be a lot easier for the audience to understand and showing a corrupt society could prove to be a challenge.
I decided to have my narrative as a boy and girl who are still divided but rather than being divided by a corrupt society they are divided by the collapse of civilization/end of the world. My idea now is to highlight the idea that when civilization collapsed the boy and girl were the the only two that survived and are now currently the last two humans left however when the end of the world had occurred they were not together so now they are in a desperate struggle to find each other by continuously walking through woods and other derelict locations to find each other only to narrowly avoid each other. This idea came from listening to the song I chose again and being a muse fan I know that frontman Matt Bellamy has many theories about the end of the world and how it will end so it seemed like a good idea for my narrative. This will also allow me to do some very interesting shots like one of their phones running out of battery and becoming useless as well as one of them finding some older phones and tries to find one that has some battery and is able to contact the other. How I came about with the end of the world/collapse of civilization idea was from one of Muse's albums their 3rd studio album Absolution is an entire album which is telling the story of an apocalypse and how the world is ending or is going to end and it features songs such as Time is Running Out and Apocalypse please which helped give me end of the world ideas especially in the Time is Running Out music video which shows the band performing on a table where a group of world leaders have met to discuss their plans to resolve the end of the world. These songs can be seen below:
I'm hoping that changing my narrative to center around the end of the world idea will make my narrative much more clearer and will give a bigger emphasis on the boy and girl genuinely being separated with a very slim chance of being able to find each other again.
