Blog #7 The Hollywood Formula

Opening Scene:
The start of the movie is of the camera zooming in on a bright and sunny forest.  As the camera goes in deeper we see a small wood cabin buried deep in the woods.  Throughout this time there is suspenseful music playing softly in the back round.  The camera goes through the front door that has been left open and focus' on an older man writing in a worn looking journal, the last action of the opening scene is the man looking up into the camera and the screen going black with a "boom".




Inciting Incident:
 During this time we see Jack starting to take a walk in the Keeper woods, the area in which Oliver lives hidden in his cabin. Jack has been fascinated with the woods for some time now and has finally decided to venture into this unknown area. Meanwhile, back at the headquarters of the Dewian government, Harry and Cynthia have been watching Jack through the tracker that was placed in his forehead when he was regenerated.  Jack’s venture into the woods lands him near a wooden cabin-the secret home of Oliver.  Jack, being the nosy person he is, walks right up to the front door and starts knocking on the door.  Oliver loads his gun, opens the door and aims to shoot at his intruder.   Jack is very insistent and Oliver finally realizes that he truly is no harm.  Moving forward we see Jack and Oliver talking about the government, Oliver being surprisingly open on his opinion even though Jack has told him that he is a police officer.  Oliver makes it clear that Jack is a fool for believing anything that the government tells him, something that’s been in the back of his mind for some time now.  Moving back to Harry and Cynthia, they check up on Jack and see that he is in a red zone-an area of interested for Oliver.  They transport him into the building and ask him questions about what is in that area.  Jack catches sight of a picture of Oliver and decides to lie about what is in the area; Harry decides to check it out anyways the following day.  When Jack is released from the building he immediately goes to Oliver to warn him of the oncoming government and offers him a safe, secret place to stay further in the woods in a cave.  Oliver realizes that this and decides that he can trust Jack in his planned revolution.   


The Big Decision:
Revolving around Jack, the big decision come after Oliver and Jack have official met on the day that Jack accidentally discovered Oliver secret dwelling.  While being a surprisingly good host and making his guest tea, Oliver is having an internal debate on whether or not to tell Jack about his plans for revolution.  "He's a damn police officer!."  "He doesn't know any better!"  These are the two thoughts that keep running through his mind.  By the time he gives Jack his tea it's been over ten minutes.  Oliver decides that he really doesn't know any better and throws caution to the wind, telling him of his thoughts and how wrong the government of Dewy truly is.  This involves Jack being called a "fool" more than once and Oliver using the word "damn" every thirteen words.  The day ends with Jack going home only to be called into the Capital building by none other than Harry Claude himself.  As he enter Harry's office he is bombarded with questions,  "Where were you today?"  "How did you know how far you were into the woods", and the most important question, "Did you see anyone in the woods?"  Jack knew that Oliver was being searched for; his picture was everywhere.  His internal debate was whether or not to turn him in.  The entire time he was with him, he denied was Oliver said, stating that it wasn't true, but now? In a snap decision he states, "I didn't see anything except for a few rabbits running around."  The next scene Oliver opens his front door to Jack standing there.  The first words out of his mouth are, "I want to help you, but we need to leave now."
