INITIAL RESEARCH:
Below, a selection of the films & books I have read to help give me ideas and inspiration to kickstart my thinking.
'The Road' by Cormac McCarthy:
A harrowing post-apocalypse survival journey for a father and his young son through a country blasted by an unspecified catastrophe that has destroyed much of civilisation and almost all life on earth. They travel south along the road salvaging what they can to survive. They must not be seen - most of humanity that has survived have resorted to cannibalism, and the father does what he can in order for his son to survive.
A sci-fi disaster film, where a family are attempting to escape the heightening change in elements. It is a portrayal of the catastrophic events due to unfold in the year 2012. The american government have began a secret project to build 'arks' to project & ensure humanity survive.
The Day after tomorrow:
Drastic climatological changes are a result of abrupt global warming. A new ice age has begun, and people are trying to evacuate to warmer climates of the south. A climatologist attempts a daring rescue mission to find is son who is stuck in New York and are facing the freezing temperatures that could kill them.
Life After People:
In this TV documentary, scientists, structural engineers and other experts speculate what earth would be like if humanity suddenly disappeared, leaving everything behind including household pets and livestock. The series shows examples of the decay through famous landmarks including the eiffel tower, Hoover Dam & brooklyn bridge. The time range begins approximately 1 minute after the disappearance of mankind, right through to one hundred million years into the future.
