Narrative Project And initial ideas

I am now producing my narrative project for my new brief, instead of choosing an existing story or fable, i have gone with the option to gear my production to a piece of video, i will be producing this video on mainly After effects, using lot's of kinetic type and strong mysterious visuals, the song i have chosen to use is Jetpacks was Yes! by Periphery, i feel the strong storyline elements of the song combined with the crazy breakbeat and electronic start will make for interesting compositions and would work well with the style of visuals i am aiming to produce.

I decided on this line of design by first choosing a topic from the brief out of two i had in mind, and then picking this song out of several due to implications of using them.

Initially i was choosing between: Good and Evil / Journey based narrative
My initial ideas for good and evil were as follows:

- Stopmotion incorporating yin and yang and the japanese Legend of it:
- Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde story done in two minutes using After effects

Both of these ideas proved laborious and were not worth spending time on, when a much simpler idea could achieve a much better outcome, so i chose to do a journey, using after effects over stopmotion to make it more interesting.

i then decided to do it to music, using a song based on a narrative, so i had to chose between a number of songs I had in mind, which took a very long time.
