It's not that the world is ending, just that this world has become passé. The demographic that we're after is brand-conscious and harbors a secret fear of being left behind. This is what I'm thinking. Establishing shot: the beach. It'll be a weekday so the sand will be infested with people reading because there won't be any ocean pumping to swim. Over-saturated colors give way to black and white and a bikini-aged girl removes her heart-shaped shades. She rises to her feet, and begins strolling toward a spotlight at the edge of the frame. She presses her ear to the light and hears the ocean. She lounges beneath the spotlight like a tanning bed. She closes her eyes and awakens at an exclusive resort with few people in the abundant waves. They invite her in and no one else.
