What is our Narrative?

When we found the song 'Snakes', we liked the idea that the symbol of a snake represents a person who is sneaky and can't be trusted. This then led to the idea that no one in society can be trusted because they hide who they really are by conforming; following what everyone else does. This created the idea of the masks. The masks in our video will represent that everyone is hiding who they truly are. No one is an individual, everyone is the same.

Therefore, the plan for our video is to have our protagonist take his mask off, to reveal the word 'weak' on his head, which is the word that mostly represents who he really is. Under every characters mask, there will be a word written on their forehead, showing who they really are. Our protagonist challenges society by leaving the house without his mask. This causes him to be hated and isolated by the world. The video will show our protagonist making his way through his day, and the difficulties he has with showing his true identity. This will include a fight with his girlfriend, who is angry that he isn't conforming with society. However, towards the end of the video she will come to terms with his true identity and therefore take her mask off as well. In addition, this encourages other people to take their masks off and reveal their true identities. The music will end and it will look like society has overcome its harsh rules and people can show who they really are. However, we will have a scene of a mask coming towards the camera to show that this is not the case, and even the audience will feel they have to conform to society.
