Developing a solid narrative


As my group and I are struggling to come up with a full, detailed timeline we dedicated this meeting to coming up with ideas. Simy and I looked again at one of the music videos we looked at for genre conventions: Sometimes I feel so deserted by "the chemical brothers". Specifically we looked at every key event in the music video, we saw five key events. After making a list of what the events were of that video we started thinking about what five key stages/events there would be in our video.


Our rough first draft is:


  • Boy is being chased through streets/woods (depending on location of derelict building)
  • Boy enters building

  • Gas masked men intorduced
  • New, prominent character introduced - sacrificial ceremon

  • boy discovers that the gas masked people are him


After Simy and I had made this first foundation timeline draft we conferred with victor and Phoebe who had been brainstorming little events, stylistic elements, camera shots, and props that we could use throughout, they came up with some really good stuff so we had a discussion about where we could link these ideas into the narrative/performance element.

Some good ideas that we really liked:

Murder like scene - lots of dust covers everywhere

boy walks between dust covered furniture and gas masked figures underneath dust covers

Gas masked figure painting with blood on canvas like a spiritual kind of ceremony
