projet Rok Band and ho it needs to stay a seret)

o The Midpoint/1st Culmination/false Culmination

Omniscient point of view: when the audience has knowledge that the character does not.
Point of attack: When something happens that changes the course of the story.
Obligatory Scene/planting: when something is established and needs to be fulfilled.
When you have a well-established story you can lead your audience into an ELIPSES where
there are sections of the movie that are cut out to let the audience fill in the story.

ACT 3: CLIMAX AND CONCLUSION/THE PHILISOPHICAL ACT
• Ned is captured, tortured, and killed.
• William breaks. This is noticed because William drink whiskey for the first time
• William kills the sheriff and a bunch of other guys
• William rides off into the darkness, representing him being lost and accepting his true self. A killer.
When William reaches for the Whiskey bottle to take a drink, that is his tipping point. The point where he goes
from suppressing himself to accepting the fact that he is a killer.
Schema: a pattern of thinking that we fall into/a representation of a plan or theory in form of an outline or
model
• There are plenty of schemas that are broken in this movie. One is that stereotypically, cowboys are good
marksman. But Clint Eastwood is terrible with a gone in this movie.
There are many forms of polarity in this film. Most importantly Light and Dark. Eros and Logos.
Leitmotif: a recurrent theme throughout a musical or literary composition, associated with a particular person,
idea, or situation.
