The Hollywood Formula


In the The Hollywood formula seminar we watched a video called the lighthouse keeper by Marten Johnmark. The video was about a light house keeper and the problems he faced. First the light house keepers light went out and he had to go fix it, this set the scene and was around 25% of the video. A boat was then heading towards the light house, this is the climax of the story this takes up 50% of the story line, the light house man panics as he can't find the light but was he too late? The next scene takes up the last 25%. After the panic he managed to fix the light but did he survive? did the boat crash? this video
leaves you on a cliff hanger, the last 25% is the conclusion or the resolution. Using this method keeps the audience on the edge of there seat and interested. The beginning and the end are the most important. You have too set the correctly scene too draw the audience in and have a perfect ending too make the audience feel satified by the end.
