Analyze, identify and evaluate the opening image, character introductions, visual action description, well-written dialogue, the Catalyst and the Big Event. Be sure to reference the script pages.
Little notes:
Opening Image – A visual that represents the struggle & tone of the story. A snapshot of the main character’s problem, before the adventure begins.
Catalyst – The moment where life as it is changes. It is the telegram, the act of catching your loved-one cheating, allowing a monster onboard the ship, meeting the true love of your life, etc. The “before” world is no more, change is underway. The Catalyst kicks things off. It’s part of the story’s set up. (usually around page 10)
