More work on the narrative/developing a timeline

Today My group, Phil and I talked extensively about making the narrative to our music video believable and engaging. The narrative to our music video is going to be the key focus as in the music videos of a similar genre it is the most prominent of the different elements shown.

As we want the narrative to be set in a dystopian/post apocalyptic time we had to think of a situation that would be realistic in order to build our narrative effectively, and believably around it. We couldn't just start the video with the protagonist in the location, without a purpose as the viewer wouldn't buy into it.

As the time the video will be set in will be post apocalyptic in order to accommodate the stylistic choice of having gas masks as part of the costume for the  "bad guys". We wanted the protagonist to be chased into the location at first - but after group discussion we decided it would be best if it were the protagonist that enters the location voluntarily, looking for food or medicine, as you expect in post-apocalyptic times.
