2. Three Act Format:
Act 1: Using supporting details from the text, write four to five sentences that describe the exposition and conflict. Include strong adjectives to describe the tone/mood.
Act 2: Using supporting details from the text, write four to five sentences that describe the rising action and climax. Include strong adjectives to describe the tone/mood.
Act 3: Using supporting details from the text, write four to five sentences that describe the falling action and the resolution. Include strong adjectives to describe the tone/mood.
Visual: Include at least one image for each act that communicates your vision of how the movie will look and that represents the message or theme of the act. Consider using images that are symbolic. Be sure that it is clear which act each image supports.
