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 allies during the ultimate boon part of the hero's journey, when they go to confront scare.

Child: Pumbaa, is an innocent character in the movie, trusting his friends and not doing a lot to shake things up. He is also the one who wants to help Simba when he is found in the desert.

Maiden: Nala is the maiden archetype in the movie. The character who helps the hero and tries to bring the best out of him.

Shapeshifter: The Hyenas are a shapeshifter in the lion king as they are solely motivated by food and end up turning on Scar at the end of the movie.

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 ...

Minor: Song Lyrics

Minor: Song Lyrics Planet 3 Lyrics: This will be the song that plays at the start and the end of the animation it will set the mood for the animation and start the audience's perception of the retro Sci-Fi styling. Key words I would like the song to reflect Space, gravity, Rocket, Planet, Port, Station, Stars, Milkyway , Launch Bay, Shuttle The Idea as it is now is to have the song fit a big band brass genre of music as such, I will be looking for help to produce the song in the future. When you're sitting there with a frown you feel like gravit ies pulling you down. You know the place you’d rather be. Oh, Meet me on planet three.
