by
Torran Rodgers
Version 3
EXT. WHARF (Jungle) -DAY
Fade in on a boat departing from a wharf heading left in frame, a far establishing shot fully framing the boat and cutting most of the wharf out.

 INT. BOAT -DAY
The boat moves up the river steadily, the boat is occupied by a lone hunter and in the back of the boat there is a monkey in a cage. In the control deck of the boat pictures of the hunter as a boy playing with blocks, with his father and with his family are up on the walls some framed some not, his fathers gun carved with the words for family rests in the corner of the room.

 The hunter remains focused on the river only adverting his eyes to look at the picture of his family.

 EXT. BOAT -DAY
A loud bump and metallic noises cause the hunter to turn around to find that the cage has ripped of the boat. The monkey however is still sat with his back turned to the Hunter. The hunter grabs his gun and descends the steps to see what the monkey is doing. When he is close the monkey turns around and shows the hunter how he has stacked some bananas.

 The hunter puts down the gun looking at the pile before seeing the monkey offering him some food, he decides to get down to eye level with the monkey before the boat hits something and sends everything up into the air cutting to black.

 Fade in and the hunter is looking at the point where the monkeys handcuffs connect to the boat, he looks defeated on the floor of the boat after seeming loosing his catch.
A loud thud makes the hunter open his eyes to see the monkey has placed his gun in front of him the gun seems wet on one side and right in front of his eyes he sees the words for family. As the hunter gets up the monkey makes his way yo the back of the boat to look in the direction that monkey sounds are coming from. The hunter continues to inspect the words on his fathers gun seeing the monkey longing for his own family.

 The hunter makes his way up to the controls of the boat and starts to turn it around before being accompanied by the monkey hanging on the other side of the window.

 EXT BOAT -DAY
We see the boat heading in the opposite direction to before, before the camera fades to black on a now empty exterior shot of the jungle.

The Martian: 3 Act Structure

  Film Review: The Martian Finding how the Martian sits into the broader idea of a 3 Act structure was fairly easy, as its laid out narratively in 3 very clear acts. However deciding what part of the movies where what in terms of inciting incident, mid point and Climax where harder Distinctions. 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 ...

Lion King : Archetypes

  Film Review: Lion King Hero: Simba is the hero of our story and fits the archetype of a hero so well when thinking about the hero's journey. Shadow: Scar is the shadow in the lion king sowing ill will and deception in the start of the movie to set up the events of the film. Herald:  Rafiki calls Simba to action and shows him a way to get in contact with his father. He helps the hero find there way and shows Simba the path when he's lost. The Threshold Guardian: I think the threshold guardians are the hyenas in the lion king. i think this is because they are present and the threat when Simba and Nala go into the darklands, crossing the threshold into defiance against Mufasa. Trickster: Timon as he plan's to use Simba for safety as he is a lion and can scare off other predators.  Mentor/father: Mufasa if Simba's father and mentor, a father figure who is teaching him to be king even after his death at the start of the movie. Allies: Timon, Pumba and Nala are the main all...
