Document Summary

Teacher draws rocket to leave earth and go to another planet. We have protagonists (drive the plot forward, originate action), dressed as medieval wizards. We also have antagonists (complicate action through conflict)--those from whom tension is created--the moon people. Changed into long coats and top hats. Second scene, a second shot (that doesn"t appear out of nowhere: it is the effect of the previous scene"s cause ): If you are to imagine cinema as a medium to tell stories, you are going to need to construct the film with more than one shot. Used a dissolve, or a lap dissolve, and he"ll use this throughout the film. Reminiscent of edison"s film of men hammering on an anvil. Another dissolve, to the protagonists inspecting the rooftops of an industrial paris where the launchpad will be constructed for the rocket. Moon is inhabited by some people ( celibates ).
