Minor Plan


Minor Plan

Planning out each entry of the journal, this will help me figure out what's going to be needed for each page. Once I know this  will be able to start accruing assets to make the journal when major starts or even before hand depending.

The Field Journal of William McManus

  • - Events introduction 

  • - Bio and equipment list 

  • - Day 1, Salt flats heading to waterfall finds small semi-aquatic bipeds in the pool 

  • - Climbs to plateau finds grass lands, finds large quadruped, and decides to move with herd. 

  • - Follows river meeting Long legged Quadruped and medium biped 

  • - Water animal living in oasis 

  • - Oasis is attacked by eyeless quad 

  • - Head toward volcano and encounters a large eyeless ape 

  • - 3 smart large bone creatures block exit as a I go into volcano 

  • - Do not go into the volcano there is a big insect in there. 

  • - I am at the top and see a large creature in the distance making huge tracks in the salt flats. 

 

 

Entry 1 explains what has led to this situation, The Events of The Endeavors last days as well as the landing and naming of the planets. 

 

  • +Drawing of the endeavor 

  • +View outside escape pod 

  • +Escape pod plans 

 

Entry 2 is an equipment list; explanation of the planet as can be seen. A picture of the Salt flats, planning to head towards the waterfall. 

 

  • +Equipment plans 

  • +Environment painting 

  • +Distress beacon 

 

Entry 3 arriving at the base of the waterfall and seeing the first creature, a bipedal semi-aquatic creature looking a bit frog like. 

 

  • +Creature Bipedal Semi-aquatic 

  • +Waterfall pool 

 

Entry 4 after spending a few days enjoying the work William does, and finally fixing N.E.D. A plan is put in motion to 

 

  • +Plans for NED 

  • +Ned Renders 

  • +Vine Drawings  

 

Entry 5 at the top of the waterfall is a herd of large rhino like quadruped. From this position William can see the river that heads towards a volcano where he decides he needs to plant the rescue become so it will be able to reach his fleet if he is not too deep into unknown space. 

 

  • +Rhino Quad Designs 

  • +Environment drawing  

 

Entry 6 As William made his way along the river, he saw creatures standing up in the water. He did not realise the length of these creatures' legs and as such nearly drowned trying to cross the river himself. The tall quadrupeds are evolved similarly to giraffes but use water to hide from predators. 

 

  • +River and Plant drawing 

  • +Tall Quad drawings 

  • +Rest area drawing and plant close look 

 

Entry 7 After finding some rest in the shade of one of the large trees that follow the river William awoke to large crashing sounds as kangaroo sized bipeds crashed into the tree’s causing them to leak fluids which is edible. Following their movements brought me to the oasis. 

 

  • +Biped Designs 

  • +Oasis Environment designs Day and evening 

 

Entry 8 The oasis is attacked by a competing evolutionary chain looking worm origins. The Skin covered Eyeless quad. Chased off most animals and drove William into the Rocky Mountains 

 

  • +Worm Quad 

  • +Volcano and hill drawing 

 

Entry 9 similarly to the eyeless quad a large ape like creature resides in the soot of the volcano, a dumb creature that is very primal. 

 

  • +Large ape design in environment 

 

Entry 10 further up the mountain William encounters 3 bone creatures all similarly looking but each unique. He only gets pictures of their heads. He heads into the mouth of the volcano. 

 

  • +3 creature busts 

 

Entry 11 The Volcano has a large insect in in now nicknamed mother for the scariest thing know to him. The volcano got him to a high enough point to set up the beacon and has amazing scenery. 

 

  • +Insect Creature 

  • +Beacon overlooking environment 

 

Entry 12 Again William was woken up to a large rumble sound, instead he awoke to the sound of a large titan sized create walking in the space beyond the flats. Its immense size creating lanes in the flats beyond the volcano. 

 

  • +Beacon overlook with tall creature 

  • +Tall creature sketch.

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 ...

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...
