  1. Plot Rollercoaster Year 6 Animation 2012

  2. Plan Your Plot • If you created your story, you probably have an idea of what your characters are going to do. You know that your main character is going to embark on an adventure to defeat an evil villain to make his or her dreams come true, all with the help of a good friend. So, now it is time to take the next step and map out how that is all going to happen. • Once you have a plan, getting from the beginning of your script to the end is not as hard as you think. Most scripts follow the same outline and this outline is known as the plot. • Refer to your copy of the Plot Rollercoaster. This Plot Rollercoaster will help you understand all the sections below.

  3. The BeginningWhat kind of rollercoaster are we riding? • Though some scripts begin with an “exciting event” many of them start by telling the reader a little bit about the characters, the setting, and the conflict before jumping right into the plot. Just like you might want to know how scary or wimpy a rollercoaster is before you get in line, a movie bigwig might want to know a little bit about what kind of script he or she is about to read before reading the whole thing.

  4. The Exciting EventGetting on the rollercoaster • The exciting event is something that happens to your main character which launches him or her into the adventure whether he or she likes it or not. It can be a pretty scary moment for your main character. He or she needs to get on that rollercoaster no matter how frightening it might look. Once your main character is on, there’s no turning back.

  5. Rising ActionClimbing the big hill • This will be the longest part of your story. You will write all about your characters and what happens to them during their adventure. Think about your script as a really tall rollercoaster—the higher you go, the more exciting it gets. This part is made up of many events, each of them building and building to the most exciting part of your story: the climax.

  6. The ClimaxThe top of the rollercoaster • This is the moment where things get really exciting. The villain appears out of the blue, the lottery is won, and the audience gasps. This is the moment at the very tippy-top of the rollercoaster, right before your high-speed drop! This moment doesn’t last long. It can be as brief as one short scene—just enough to make your readers hold their breath in suspense and ask, “What’s going to happen next?!”

  7. The Falling ActionSpeeding down the tracks • The falling action is the fast-paced, super action-packed part of your script. You are finally speeding down the tracks of the rollercoaster with your hands in the air! Does the villain get defeated? Do the main character’s dreams finally come true? If so, how?

  8. The EndingGetting off the rollercoaster • This is how things work out in the very end, when your main character really knows that his or her dream has come true. The rollercoaster ride is over, and he or she gets to think about how much fun the ride has been.
