Script V1

Big Game Hunter, Wharf, Handcuffs
by
Torran Rodgers
Version 1
EXT. Dock -Day
Fast shots create a rushed sense as a ape is sedated, handcuffed and loaded onto a boat before a cut to black and a fade in.
Ext. Boat Ocean -Day
The Hunter and the Ape are face to face in a tiny boat. the Ape is much larger then the hunter creating a comedic image as the hunter rows the small boat through the ocean. There aren’t any supplies on the ship the boxes are empty and there isn’t a lot of room on the boat to begin with.
The hunter tries to fish for some food however is unable to catch anything, the ape sees this and reaches into the ocean and pulls out a large fish. The hunter is surprised by this and frustratedly goes back to fishing, the monkey offers some to the hunter who turns away from the ape. The ape leaves the food next to the hunter and turns around himself.
Fade to the next day  - the hunters clothes are more dishevelled.
The monkey is looking longingly out over the ocean as the hunter softly rows the boat looking at the back of the ape. The hunter stands up to look to see if the monkey is doing anything with his hands, but as he moves in the boat he trips and falls overboard. the ape breaks his handcuffs and saves the hunter from the ocean.

The hunter gives up on his venture and turns the boat around, seeing the boat going back the ape helps and pushes the boat back to land.

Exposition The First scenes of the movie are full of exposition showing the cast on mars taking samples and carrying out other various scientific experiments. The Title along with the design of the set shows this to be astronauts on mars and sets up the location for most of the movie going forward. Inciting Incident This would be where the rest of the astronauts leave our main character Mark Watney on mars after presuming him dead in a storm. He instead doesn't die and manages to make it to the relative safety of the space habitat where he stops himself from bleeding to death. Before the audience is told about marks plans on how to stay alive fighting the main problem he faces in the whole ...

A Bug's Life: The Hero's Journey Review

  A Bug's Life: The Hero's Journey Review After learning about the hero's journey, I have re-watched a bugs life in an attempt to break it down into the frame work of the hero's journey. The Ordinary world: The ordinary world is the ant colony being oppressed by the grass hopper's. The way of life where they are threatened and bullied into collecting food for the grass hoppers while also collecting food for themselves. The call to adventure: Flik see's a world where the ants can harvest food fast enough that they can feed the grass hoppers while also collecting enough food for themselves. This is in an attempt to relieve the stress that the ants feel when collecting food. The call to adventure is often linked to the themes of the movie. However the main theme is ridding the ants of the grass hoppers instead of this call to just sate the grass hoppers. Refusal of the call: Flik gives up on these ideas and agrees to act like everyone else and collect food in the s...
