I would like to make a feature length movie. Now as I learned in Screen play class there is a “Format” which is that there are three acts. Act one has twenty scenes. Act two has thirty scenes. Act three has twenty scenes. Which is in total, about seventy scenes.

Now my plot, though very good, does not even come close to having that many scenes or being able to fit in that format which means that I could just make a long(for me) half hour movie with the plot I have currently and skip the format or I could add something else. I think that BOTH might work. Perhaps I should shoot a regular one and then have the special edition be a full length feature film. Or perhaps I should do a television mini series and have commercials. Now that would be fun! But I think I’l save that for later.

Any way I thought up something to make the story longer. I was going to have everything take place in one night, but now I am rethinking. In the previous plot all of my stuffed animals and Eowyn come alive more or less at the same time but it might be interesting to have Eowyn come first and the others follow after during several days while there are mysterious scenes taking place in BW where plans of world domination are hinted at and the experiments are seen. But what should be happening during those several days?

Well I thought of something that might almost be. I could be making and video editing a movie during that time period! Something fairly short perhaps but the filming of it could take up most of Act one and the video editing could take up a bit of act two and maybe it could be watched at one point, maybe when it is known that there are just a few minutes before the Portal will work and the army will come poring in and all preparations possible have been made to receive them, I and my stuffed animals can sit down for maybe the last time and watch “The Banana of DOOM” Then if I want to have another cliffhanger they could attack before the movie is over and all of my stuffed animals might fight there hardest because they want to survive to see the end of the movie and whether the Banana of DOOM will be found.

I definitely am thinking up ideas tonight but it is about time to go to bed. However I think I will have “The Banana of DOOM” in there because, though it isn’t necessary I might be able to make it necessary and that would be a fun challenge to take something that seemingly immaterial and make it vitally important to the safety of our world!

Filming this movie is going to be fun. For one thing there will be a lot of special effects and for another I will be acting the role of ME and I don’t know how I would act in the situations I am creating. Probably I would not do what I’ll do in the movie(successfully save the world) but I’ll try to make it a rather funny movie and one that my family will sit through at least once.

But first I’ll have to earn a new computer for the video editing part of this, but I can get the script and the filming and everything in between done before then maybe.

I will be very, very busy when I return home.
