The Blake Snyder beat sheet.

Project Title - The Garage
Genre - Science Fiction
Date - 12-02-14

1. Opening image ( the hook, drags audience in to the film) - A weird looking machine in the garage, with a green wire on it and the camera will be zooming out from the green wire. (this is to get the audience thinking and questioning, why a re they showing us this?)

2. Theme stated (setting the theme, just say it!) - I will have my main characters best friend state the theme of loneliness. ( this will make the audience feel sorry for my main character and also get them thinking about his background )

3. Set-up ( setting the scene, 6 things that need fixing, how it is before things changed, work life, love life, home life, introducing their world ) - I will introduce the characters back life, job home and friends. ( this will give the audience an idea of what my character is like, was like and what he's going to be like )

4. Catalyst ( this is what will start my story, what knocks it over and the first thing to change ) - he's working in the garage when he's best friend says 'why don't you build a time machine' and he immediately starts thinking about it and how he could do it.

5. Debate ( obstacles, possibility, whether they can do it or not ) - he starts to doubt himself about if he can do it or not, but finally gets the motivation and the resources he needs.

6. Break into Two (beginning, middle and end, everything is different, things that need fixing would have been fixed, what's going to happen) - this is when he starts being more optimistic (this is fixed because he was more pessimistic) and he also starts to build the machine.

7. B story (background story of someone else, best friends story, something other than the main thing) -
