Premise Beat Sheet

 

Premise Beat Sheet

  • Establishing shots of the township from long distance 


  • Shots get smaller and more focused, showing dysfunction withing the town. Showing the audience, the realism of the world to allow me to deal with real world issues 


  • Shots show small memorials to deceased people finishing on a portrait. 


  • Cut inside to the castle, to a corridor full of portraits, candles light the members of the family who are still alive and dead candles and flower memorials around the portraits of the deceased. 


  • The young prince is replacing candles off the wall with the ladder, showing a person making small improvements/ working towards improving the situation. 


  • A crash as a door opens, and a person huffs their way down the corridor past the prince, as they come from the room at the end of the hall. 


  • He goes through the door cautiously to see his father self-enveloped in his throne meeting people, before the prince goes and stands next to the throne himself. 


  • He is presented a drink in an ornate glass and takes it. (An important prop for later) 


  • A member of the town presents a request on paper to the king, who shy’s away from the task. It shows a few coins for medicine. 


  • The person after getting no response leaves, not angry just defeated 


  • The prince sees his glass and the gem on it. 


  • As the person leaves the prince catches them in the corridor 


  • He smashes the glass and start picking it up 


  • The person tries to help but the prince quickly slaps their hand to stop them. Before handing them a piece of cloth the size of the gem before gesturing them to leave. 


  • The prince cuts his finger on a piece of the glass and softly shouts in pain. 


  • Moments later the king burst through the door at speed alerted to the shout from the last of his family. 

  • He kneels next to his son and looks to attend to his cut. 


  • The sight of blood rattles the king and makes him scared, he looks up towards the closes portrait and sees its of his youngest child (Deceased). 


  • The king shakenly walks away making it to the far side of the throne room before collapsing and getting help from his guard. 


  • His crown falls of and rolls towards the throne. 


  • The king sees his son dealing with members of the town who moved forward seeking help 

  • The prince picks it up on his way and returns it to his father and starts to make his way towards to people again. 


  • The king calls out to his son as he falls again 


  • The price comes to help his father and kneels to help, the king smiles at his kindness before standing upright and placing the crown on his son's head. Before returning to a lower stance, being caught as he falls by his son.  


  • The prince hugs his father, kisses him on the forehead and lets him move away towards his chamber's. 


  • The people few people left in the throne room seem taken back. 


  • The prince moves unconfidently but over-exaggeratedly towards and onto the throne, following a moment of hesitation he gestures the member of the town to present his plea, before fading to black

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...
