THE 4 STAGES OF PLOT DEVELOPMENT

Plot 1 is where we meet Jones for the first time when he is looking for this artifact. He finds it but then he encounters one of the bad guys and he takes the artifact from Jones. As the movie goes on Jones is called into the gym to talk to some men from the government. They talk about the Ark of the Covent and ask Jones if he can find it before the Nazi’s do. Know we now that Jones must find the Ark before the Nazi’s do.

Plot 2 Rising Action: Is the were the character has to jump over these postictal. For example Jones has to save Marion many times from the Nazi’s.

Plot 3 Climax: I believe is when the Nazi’s open up the Ark Plot 4 Ending: They give the Ark to the government and he says,

“they don’t know what they have.” He doesn’t get the Ark but he gets the girl. They don’t really give us a hint that there will be a another movie.

BEGINNING

In the beginning of the movie we are introduced to two main characters, Indiana Jones and Belloq. We know that this guy is the evil villain in the movie. He takes the golden statue from Jones. A big thing they also showed was he had this evil laugh. We continued to hear it as Jones was running from the Natives. We also get the goal that Jones has to do which is to get the Ark before the Nazi’s do.

MIDDLE

In the middle of the movie Jones is trying to get the Ark and on his way he meets Marion an old friend. She helps him try to find the Ark. We also see a lot of things that get into Jones way in retrieving the Ark.

ENDING

Jones and Marion are captured and they are tied up. The Nazi’s have the Ark and are going to open it. Jones and Marion are in the back and Jones tells Marion to shut her eyes. Jones told us that the Ark had the rath of God in it. They open the Ark and these sprits come out to everyone who had their eyes open. We also see this beam of light come out of the Ark and kill everyone. So then they are free and they take the Ark back to the US.

DANGLING CAUSE

Can be lines, images, sounds, or characters that are shown to the audience that later come true. We can see it or hear it when Jones talks about the Ark for the first time in the gym. The Arks theme song plays and the camera zooms in on Jones’s face.

DANGLING CAUSE 1

In the begging of the movie Jones is running from the natives and he gets into the plane. But there is a snack in the seat and he starts to freak out. We know that Jones does not like snacks.

DANGLING CAUSE 2

When Jones goes to the bar to find Marion they get into a fight and he leaves. When he leaves she pulls out the madalen and looks a it. The camera stayed on it for a while so we know that object must be important later on.

DANGLING CAUSE 3

Jones was with Sully and they went to go find out what was written on the Madalen. A young severest gets some tarts, I'm not share what it was called. He goes and finds a try but then someone posines them. The camera stays on them for a minute. Later on Jones is about to eat it when Sally stops him because he saw the monkey was dead by the tarts.
