10 stage outline.

Howdy, Its been nearly a week since my last post. In the next couple of posts, I shall be giving more information about the creature story. The list shall be: 1 line idea, 3 sentence outline (this will be redefining one of the previous posts). A 10 sentence outline and a Synopsis. Also going to start working on the locations and the creatures.

First of all I shall do a 10 step outline in this post

1. The main character will be revealed in his home.
2. A nice tropical storm will roll in and destroy his home.
3. The character makes the big decision if to stay and rebuild or leave and find a new home.
4. The character starts his journey to find a new home.
5. The villain will be intruded into the story, showing some of the major parts of him before his true reveal.
6. The villain mocks the character, makes him question his journey to finding a new home and leads him into a trap.
7. The character is trapped, but as he gets trapped, he sees the perfect house in the distance.
8. The character starts to plot revenge will getting out of the trap.
9. The character gets his revenge on the villain by using the same trap he was court in.
10. The character settles into his new home.

The creatures story

In the last post, I added the end in that one. so I shall write the beginning, middle and end in a sentence for each.

The creatures get washed ashore from a devastating storm, now finding a new place to live on the island. Searching for a new home, only to find it is already taken as a home. Returning to his ship as nothing will every replace home.

Entry for a new start of idea - What we don't see.

This has nothing to do with the previous creature story or any story's, just thought it up. I am going to add the stories, ideas into this 1 blog and work from there. This idea needs a lot more working on as it just came to me. Also going to chuck around some different names for this one.

The story begins in real life with a child's hand opening the lid of a wind up box. inside is a house. as the child starts to turn the wind, the house slowly starts to rotate. After nearly half to a full revolution of the house, the camera zooms into the house though a 2nd story window, the camera continues to go out that room, down the starts and out the door will going through some other rooms. The camera goes out side the house to show a city. that is under attack. The house that the camera just went though also had the fight in there. Everything in the world is frozen until the camera gets focus outside of the house, and the fight starts again.


The rest of the story will be focused on a man that has to take the captains position and be in charge for the fight. That is the idea for now, it might change as time goes on.

The creature - Middle


The creature finds a nice tree that reminds him of the ship, staying there for half the night, getting moved on by a pack of squirrels that lives there. Moving on and finding a hole, resting there for a few hours few dawn. Dawn comes and he starts to more on, not liking the hole, he walks into a nice mud area, starting to make himself at home, he walks up wasps that live there and gets chased out. Finally returning to his ship, not liking the island and starts to slowly repair the hull and the ship part by part. 


I'm going to add the end up in the next few days, than going to rewrite each in a new post to turn it into a sentence or two for each section; beginning, Middle, and the end

The Beginning.

The beginning of the story film concept will start at the critical point. As the creature has been living on the pirate ship, the crew killed by the villainous pirates, the ship left to set its own sail. Caught in a deadly storm, smashing it against the rocks of an abandoned island. The creature surviving in the hull, left alone on this island. The creature sets out on a journey along the island to find a new home as the ship no longer sails the seven seas.

This is the beginning of the the story that I shall be redefining. This part of his story will happen before the long post.

This post may or may not make perfect sense until you read the previous one. After having some thoughts about the creatures and the story, This is what I have came up with.

The creature that is the main character needs to get to the other side of the island. As he lives on a wrecked ship, and knows that there is another wrecked pirate ship on the other side of the island. The creature is hoping that the item he is after will be on that ship. Believing that the item he needs to secure his home is on that ship, he sets out in search of that pirate ship.
This section will be added into the excerpt

Pre-story for an idea.

A creature found its way onto a sailing ship in the 17th century, and lived in the hull. They lost a battle, all the crew where executed and the ship was left to find its own doom. Sailing for many weeks, it finally found its rest place on a deserted island wrecked upon rocks. As the creature grew, still living in the hull, collecting objects found on the island to secure and make it more like a place to live. As the creature adventured more on the island, finding that he is not alone with other creatures on the island. some friendly and some vicious. All the creatures are carnivore, making hunting for food harsh and they need to kill one other to survive, small packs are made with the different types of animals. E.g. Some of the small animals have made a bond with the large. The small will find large animals that will chase them, and lead them to an ambush where the large animals will kill them for food. the small animals also get their share in the food.

That is the history of the island and the main creature. The story is:

The creature finds out that a deadly storm is approaching the island, knowing that the storm will destroy his home unless he can find a object that will block the storm. This object will cover the entrance he uses which in theory should stop the storm. The creature knows both the risks of leaving his home with what could happen to him if he does, and what will happen if he stays and lets the storm roll in.

As the storm is three days away, he sets out as daybreak, trying to make some distance before all the animals and creatures wake up. As he follows the path that he has always down before, he gets to the end of the path, where it leads into the jungle where the most vicious and deadly creatures live. Knowing he needs to enter and get to the other end of the path, as traveling around it would take to long, he travels inwards. Keeping to the shadows and hiding when creatures are near. As his journey continues he walks into a nest of  animals, that only come out at night. He must slowly and quietly walk though the nest without waking a single one of the animal. The creature gets halfway and a part of his foot slightly hits one of the sleeping animal, holding dead still and slowly turning his head towards the sleeping animal to make sure it is still sleeping. The sleeping animal rolls over but hits another sleeping animal. The creature believes its save as he is unaware that the animal woke the other animal, he continues on his journey. Unaware that the animal woke and is stalking him for breakfast.  

As the creature finds a cave and sees the sun reflecting of the object that he needs to secure his home, he starts to become unconscious of the environment and hurries towards the object. Stepping on a trip wire that wakes up a spider. As the creature grabs the object and starts moving it, the spider comes down from its tree and starts making fierce noises at the creature. the spider starts attacking the creature, the creature attempting to run away and hide, the spider grabs him and starts to wrap him with his web. the creature helplessly trying to escape. The sleeping animal from before sees the spider and wants the creature for himself to eat, takes a running leap at the spider. Hitting the legs of the spider, releasing the creature from the hanging web. Falling on the ground as the spider and the animal fight, the creature breaks the remaining web from him and hides behind a tree as the animal and the spider go head to head for the victory to eat the creature. The animal runs into a bush and the spider follows, knowing this is the creatures only time to grab the object and make a dash for home. As he approaches home, the storm is only hours away from hitting the island. The sky turning black as each moment passes, the creature is determined to get this object to his home in time.

Arriving home just minutes after the storm has started to hit, using all his effort to get the object in the position to block the storm out from doing any more damage. he gets the object in position and hides in is home until the storm passes. Throwing parts of the top of the ship, trees falling. The creature is hoping that the object will hold. As the storm passes the island. the creature comes out from his home, happily knowing the object survived. looking out onto the beach and seeing the mess the storm has created. Animals and creatures roaming the beach to try and grab anything that could be useful to them or was theirs.
