 4 stages  Set up-meet characters/figure out personality/ figure

out goals  Complicating Action-a problem is posed on characterusually makes us question-will they achieve their goal?  Climax-turning point  Resolution-how everything plays out  Usually plays out as:  Set-up  Complicating Action  Complicating Action  Climax  Climax  Resolution

 Raiders of the Lost Ark Example:  The transition happens when Indy is going in the vault,

but then the Nazi soldiers show up and try to stop himthey don’t notice Indy-they arrested the guy he’s with  This is the transition point- moving from meeting the characters/figuring out their goal(s)(Set Up)  now wondering if they’re going to achieve their goal(s)(because of complicating action)

 Raiders of The Lost Ark Example:  Transition from Complicating Action to Climax-When

Marion and Indy get trapped in the vault  Transition because- Now They’re closer to accomplishing their goal since they’re trapped in the Ark(Which moves us into the turning point or climax from complicating action)

 Transition- They go to the Ark with the Nazi soldiers  Transition Because- Now we know that they could

accomplish they’re goal(climax), but we just have to wait and see how it plays out(Resolution)

 Dangling Cause-lines, images or actions that are

planted early in the film and are important later in the film.

 Indy says hates snakes in the beginning of the movie,

but in the vault there’s snakes everywhere.

 Marion does shots with the guy at her bar then she

does shots with Belloq to get him drunk so she can escape

 Belloq keeps saying, “What once was yours is always

mine.” throughout the whole movie.

 Motif: lines, images, actions, colors or musical themes

that woven throughout the film in order to let the audience in on certain things.

 The color red is an example of a motif…

 A musical motif of Indy’s theme is also an example…

 Indy’s theme plays as he swings through the vines in

the jungle.

 Another motif is Marion’s musical theme…

 Her theme plays when Indy saves her from being held

captive.

 Did you know…Indy's line to Marion when they are on

the ship - "It's not the years, honey, it's the mileage" was ad-libbed by Harrison Ford.
