narrative ideas

in a recent discussion with the group we had a long talk about the basic narrative. this was a very long process of trial and improvment and explored many differet outcomes. we started with that which we already decided we liked and built on from that point. We started with the opening scene of the video, and we wanted an introduction to the video which is featured in some music videos such as when you were young by the killers etc. our introduction will consist of our protagnist being forced to watch images on a tv in a bedroom while tied to a chair or bed. in the room their would be 2 typical bad guys who are overseeing this taking place. i picture them to be representative of agent smith from the matrix. there would also be a woman in a red dress in the bedroom who would also be featured later on in the video. this woman and her later role is an intertextual reference to the matrix in general. at this stage in the video she would be less glamarous and possible be smoking when seen in the shot. one of the agents would be in some way making the protagnist's eye stay open, which would then swap to a tv showing several conspiracy related pictures and some random photos, and the word "forget". the final shot of this introduction scene would be the agents exchanging glances and then cutting to black.
the black would lead into the following scene of the protagnist layed in a bath. the music would start with the opening to this scene, and the main character would sit up gasping and possibly shaking. he will be full dressed, possible in work clothes and will be very confused and "panicy" when he wakes. he will get out of the bath, exit the house and begin walking to an unknown destination, seeing several things related to the images he was shown in the start of the video in the bedroom scene. from this point we began to debate the ending or the climax of the song. i made several suggestions, such as he sees one of the agents from the opening scene who winks at him and points toward his jacket pocket. at this point the protagnist looks in his jacket to find a weapon, probably a knife, at which point he sees a man who was in the video at the start, and starts uncontrollably running toward him with a killers intentions. when he catches the man, he pounces on him and kills him, and the dead mans wrist bears a tattoo of the illuminati logo on his wrist. the protagnist would then attempt to escape from the situation, when he is confronted by a police officer who stops him. the police officer place his in handcuffs and he also has the tattoo. At that moment, the officer who winked at him comes from round a corner, discreetley showing the officer that he also has the tatto.
