Andre’s 4 Act Transformational Structure.
My one-sentence vision for my success from this program is:
To learn how to write the
best script(s) of my life, so far, by dramatically improving the quality of my
writing in the genres of Action, Erotica, and Horror; while having both the
Financial and Time resources to travel the world doing so, with colleagues /
friends /peers, (the few that I have).What I learned doing this assignment is being a perfectionist, made this difficult. I do not releasing works in progress. I know the draft I am about to submit will be edited, and re-edited, but I have to get it out to complete this part of the assignment. This is the best iteration of one of three projects.
How to do this assignment is easier “said” than done.
· Pass 1: Build the Protagonist journey into Four-Act Structure.
· Pass 2: Focus on the Opposition that creates more conflict, adding in big-picture points to the structure.
· IMPORTANT: This isn’t about adding details, but instead about highlighting the structure so I can make sure it works. Be careful not to dilute my structure with drama, scenes, dialogue, or details that belong in the script, but are specifically delivering the structure.
1. Bring over my Concept, Old Ways, and new Ways from the first few lessons.
Add them to the Main Conflict and I am in business.

The Projects (These are very rough drafts!)
THE PLANETARY PRINCE-Pass 1
Pass 1: Build the Protagonist journey into Four-Act Structure.
<b style=”background-color: transparent; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; color: var(–bb-body-text-color);”>Concept-
Rosemary’s Baby and The Omen meets The Devil’s Advocate. What would power do to remain in power? Align itself with evil!
After 500,000 years of freewill experimentation, humanity is judged on its collective actions. With Lucifer on trial, Gabriel vs. Lucifer, and annihilation from existence as his potential judgment, Lucifer conducts his final act to perfect the imperfection of his earthly assignment-humanity.
Using human freewill as evidence, from abortions, scientific-experiments, and consistent warfare, Lucifer proves humanity is sinfully-evil, and his actions were to correct their original sin, of Adam and Eve.
Utilizing particle acceleration technology to merge anti-matter, aka dark-matter, with aborted fetus’ inside of a barren woman’s womb, to create the Anti-Christ. The purpose, to take his seat of the all-powerful position of President of the US. Perfecting Imperfection.
Main
Conflict-Human freewill is established 500,000 years before Lucifer arrives.

THE PLANETARY PRINCE-Pass 2
Pass 2: Focus on the Opposition that creates more conflict, adding in big-picture points to the structure.
Considering 30-minute prologue to set up the movie. Movie would begin at ACT 2, with ACT 1 serving as prologue.
<u style=”background-color: transparent; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; color: var(–bb-body-text-color);”>Concept– Rosemary’s Baby and The Omen meets The Devil’s Advocate. What would power do to remain in power? Align itself with evil!
After 500,000 years of freewill experimentation, humanity is judged on its collective actions. With Lucifer on trial, Gabriel vs. Lucifer, and annihilation from existence as his potential judgment, Lucifer conducts his final act to perfect the imperfection of his earthly assignment-humanity.
Using human freewill as evidence, from abortions, scientific-experiments, and consistent warfare, Lucifer proves humanity is sinfully-evil, and his actions were to correct their original sin, of Adam and Eve.
Utilizing particle acceleration technology to merge anti-matter, aka dark-matter, with aborted fetus’ inside of a barren woman’s womb, to create the Anti-Christ. The purpose, to take his seat of the all-powerful position of President of the US. Perfecting Imperfection.
Main Conflict– Human freewill is established 500,000 years before Lucifer arrives.
Old Ways–
Ø The War in Heaven was very terrible and very real. While displaying none of the barbarities so characteristic of physical warfare on the immature worlds, this conflict was far more DEADLY! Material life is in jeopardy in material combat, typical human warfare; BUT the war in heaven, was fought in terms of Life eternal
Ø The loyal princes of the inhabited worlds are permanently attached to the planets of their original assignment.” Paradise Sons and their dispensations may come and go, but a successful Planetary Prince continues on as the ruler of his realm.
Ø It is our belief that the idea took origin and form in Lucifer’s mind, and that he might have instigated such a rebellion no matter where he might have been stationed.
Ø Lucifer first announced his plans to Satan, but it required several months to corrupt the mind of his able and brilliant associate.
Ø Two-Hundred Thousand Years Ago, on the last day of the year, at the Sea of Glass at the annual conclave of Satania, the Lucifer Manifesto is issued.
Ø Always had the archangel custodian admonished Adam and Eve that default of trust would culminate in degradation of status, and access to this source of energy was denied them subsequent to their default;
Ø Asclepius was a demigod born to Apollo and Princess Coronis. a mortal woman from Thessaly, Greece.
Ø Asclepius is killed with a thunderbolt, by Zeus, for fear that Asclepius’ healing mankind, thus not bring over souls, due to his healing abilities.
Ø Human DNA [ATCG 10 5 6 5].
New Ways– Modern day.
Ø The case of Gabriel vs. Lucifer takes place.
Ø Abandoned by his father since before birth, and living with the aftermath of near fatal vehicle accident, resulting in NDE, our Hero Protagonist Indigo…
Ø Abortion Doctor and political lobbyist. Was on the medical board that ends the career of our protagonist, and also aborts Indigo’s unborn child.
Ø Threatened with death by bolt of lightning, Asclepius performs abortions to fulfill his obligation of sending over fresh souls to save his own. Thus the importance of the electrical storm timed with the Particle Accelerator.
Ø Human DNA [ATCCCG 10 5 6 6 6 5].
ACT 1: 25 to 30pages-Prologue-Set up and see Old Ways.
Opening– 30-minute Pre-Amble.
Atmosphere of Evil established… Is it true, 500,000 years ago, Lucifer, Satan, and The Devil with the permission of God, walked planet earth?
Court House. In a BODY and Sworn in publicly as the Officers of the Administration of the New Head of “the liberated worlds and systems”, the entire ADMINISTRATIVE CABINET of Lucifer ENTERS the court house for the trial of Gabriel vs. Lucifer.
The Lucifer Emblem is a banner of white with one red circle, in the center of which a BLACK SOLID CIRCLE appears. Displayed epicenter of our Crater, the Contained Zone.
The signal for a System Sovereign to act in the matter of assigning a ruler to a given planet is the reception of a request from the Life Carriers for the dispatch of an administrative head to function on this planet whereon they have established life and developed intelligent evolutionary beings. All planets which are inhabited by evolutionary mortal creatures have assigned to them a planetary ruler of this order of sonship.
“Be you perfect, even as I am perfect.”
Ø Perfection was never perfected. Yet it is this idea of perfection that Lucifer sought and contended with, just following orders.
Inciting Incident–
ADAM & EVE find themselves on a sphere wholly unprepared for the proclamation of the brotherhood of man, a world groping about in abject spiritual darkness, and cursed with confusion -worse, confounded by the miscarriage of the mission of the preceding administration.
<b align=”center”>Pass2-Pre-Amble to Opening
The
Opening Case of Gabrielle vs LuciferOn trial is Lucifer. With numerous charges, at stake, is annihilation, not simply death, but the termination of life eternal, Life itself.
Connect
with the Characters.LUCIFER: is #37 of his order, and when commissioned by the Melchizedek’s, he was designated as one of the One-Hundred most able and brilliant personalities in more than seven-hundred thousand of his kind.
Lucifer was not an ascendant being; he was a created Son of the local universe, and of him it was said: “You were perfect in all your ways from the day you were created till unrighteousness was found in you.”
THE 100 CORPOREAL MEMBERS: They continued their deceptive and seductive efforts to confuse and mislead the minds of men and angels.
CALIGASTIA (the devil), is Our apostate Planetary Prince, is still free on Urantia (earth), to Prosecute his nefarious designs. But he has absolutely no power to enter the minds of men, neither can he draw near to their souls to tempt or corrupt them unless they really desire to be cursed with his wicked presence, that is until his plan to merge anti-matter with aborted fetus to create the sentience of dark matter.
Time.
500,000
years ago…Lucifer and his first assistant, Satan, reign for more than five-hundred thousand years, when in their hearts they began to array themselves against the Universal Father and his then vicegerent Son, Michael.
300,000
years agoThis expanding revelation of Deity goes on for more than 300,000 three-hundred thousand years, until it suddenly TERMINATES!
200,000
years ago…Two-Hundred Thousand Years ago, The One-Hundred CORPOREAL MEMBERS OF PRINCE CALIGASTIAS STAFF begin their mission on Earth as extraordinary threefold beings: They are corporeal and relatively human, for they embody the actual life plasm of the Andonic life plasm of earth, one of the human races.
These 100 members of the Prince’s staff are divided equally as to gender (50 male and 50 female) and in accordance with their previous mortal status.
That
rebellion being defined as, The Lucifer Rebellion:Throughout the Lucifer Rebellion, Lucifer becomes increasingly critical of the entire plan of Universe Administration but always professes, wholehearted loyalty to the Supreme Rulers.
His first outspoken disloyalty is manifested on the occasion of a visit of Gabriel just a few days before the Open Proclamation of the Lucifer Declaration of Liberty.
Gabriel is so profoundly impressed with the certainty of the impending outbreak that he goes direct to confer with the Constellation Fathers regarding the measures to be employed in case of open rebellion. (Keep in mind, he was impressed, profoundly; not necessarily against.)
50,000
years ago.The Barringer Meteor Crater.
Planetary secession: By fifty thousand years after the collapse of the planetary administration, earthly affairs are so disorganized and retarded that the human race gains very little over the general evolutionary status existing at the time of Caligastia’s (The Devil) arrival three hundred and fifty thousand years previously (350,000). In certain respects, progress has been made; in other directions much ground had been lost.
About 3000 b.c. the concept of God grows very hazy in the minds of men and women. Revealed Truth is threatened with extinction during the millenniums which followed the miscarriage of the Adamic mission on Urantia/Earth.
Though making progress Intellectually, the HUMAN RACES slowly lose ground spiritually.
Note: the time periods are off, and need to corrected.
“Be you perfect, even as I am perfect.”
Perfection is never perfected.
There were no peculiar or special conditions in the system of Satania which suggested or favored rebellion.
It is our belief that the idea took origin and form in Lucifer’s mind, and that he might have instigated such a rebellion no matter where he might have been stationed.
Lucifer first announced his plans to Satan, but it required several months to corrupt the mind of his able and brilliant associate.
However, when once converted to the rebel theories, he became a bold and earnest advocate of “self-assertion and liberty.”
Urantia book Paper 53:2.2 (602.5)
“The loyal princes of the inhabited worlds are permanently attached to the planets of their original assignment.”
Paradise Sons and their dispensations may come and go, but a successful Planetary Prince continues on as the ruler of his realm.
The War in Heaven was very terrible and very real. While displaying none of the barbarities so characteristic of physical warfare on the immature worlds, this conflict was far more deadly! Material life is in jeopardy in material combat, BUT the War in Heaven, was fought in terms of life-eternal.
THE FALL-THE 100 CORPORAL -200,000 Years Ago, on the last day of the year, at the Sea of Glass at the annual conclave of Satania, the Lucifer Manifesto is issued. The Lucifer flag is raised. The Lucifer emblem is a banner of white with one red circle, in the center of which a black solid circle appears.

Pass2-Turning
Point1-Ø The lucky ones died before the pandemic. [ATCG 10 5 6 5] + [ATCCCG 10 5 6 6 6 5].
Ø Abortions in our clinic occur as clockwork. Singles, twins, even triplets.
Ø Disruption of the Teaching Regime: Sin on UrantiaEarth did very little to delay biologic evolution, but sin did operate to deprive the mortal races of the full benefit of the Adamic inheritance.
Ø Sin enormously retards intellectual development, moral growth, social progress, and mass spiritual attainment.
Ø But sin does not prevent the highest spiritual achievement by any individual who chooses to know God and sincerely do his divine will.
Ø Evil and sin visit their consequences in material and social realms and may sometimes even retard spiritual progress on certain levels of universe reality, but never does the sin of any being rob another of the
realization of the divine right of personality survival. Eternal survival can
be jeopardized only by the decisions of the mind and the choice of the soul of the individual himself.
Gabriel
vs. Lucifer -The Charges…Charge
1:Personality Pride.
Charge
2:Default of Divine Plan resulting in Miscarriage of Adam and Eve, miscarriage of divine plan.
Charge
3:Devil made me do it. The doctrine of a personal devil on Earth.
Charge
4:Contempt for Truth.
Charge
5:Default / Violation of Trust.
Charge
6:Accelerate the process of social evolution, bypassing the divine plan.
Charge
7:Self-Assertion and Individual Liberty…
Charge
8:Ultra-individualistic.
Charge
9:Earthly-Planetary civilization progressed very satisfactorily, for almost 300,000 years, in its planetary career up to the times of Lucifer Rebellion and the concurrent Caligastia betrayal.
Charge
10:No one ever suggested rebellion to Lucifer. The idea of self-assertion had its origin in his own mind. At some point in this experience, he became insincere, and evil evolved into deliberate and willful sin. That this happened is proved by the subsequent conduct of his brilliant executive The Devil.
He was long offered opportunity for repentance, but only some of his subordinates ever accepted the proffered mercy.
Charge
11:In the course of this inspection, Satan informed Caligastia of Lucifer’s then proposed, “Declaration of Liberty,” and as we now know, the Prince agreed to betray the planet upon the announcement of the rebellion.
Charge
12:Through evil and error, he (LUCIFER) embraced sin.
“Your heart was lifted up because of your beauty; you corrupted your wisdom because of your brightness.
How are you fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How are you cast down, you who dared to confuse the worlds!”

Ø Modern Day
Ø Begin Opening Credits.
Ø A planet in peril, Earth would become a dwarf planet, void of organic life, till it resembled the Moon and or Mars.
Ø The ongoing trial of Gabriel vs. Lucifer continues…
Pass2-The
Plan-Ø Planet: Temperatures rise. Extreme weather fluctuations. Disease outbreaks.
Ø The Lucifer Manifesto: Deadbeat dads and fatherhood abandonment. The reality of the universal father. Lucifer charged that god doesn’t really exist. That physical gravity and Space Energy are inherent in the universe and that god is a myth invented by the paradise sons to enable them to maintain the rule of the universe’s in the father’s name.
Ø Deadbeat dads creating babies and not taking care of them. Abandoning the women they impregnate. To be aligned with, The Unseen father.
Ø Soundtrack includes old worn-out negro spirituals.
Ø The Abortion Clinic has levels, beneath! Beneath is a Particle Accelerator. Beneath that is, which the entire building is built upon, is a Crater. The A Crater impact. The entire estate is built upon a meteor crater! The Particle Accelerator is just a part of a gigantic ship.
Ø Tours of pregnant women (of twins and triplets and more) counted as 1; leaving without.
Ø 105665 the jab, alters DNA to Lucifer’s.
Ø The Time lag of Justice
Ø The Mercy Delays of Time are by the mandate of the free will of the Creators.
Pass2-Plan
in Action-Ø The Time lag of Justice, The very fact that an evil-doing creature can actually choose to do wrong—commit sin—establishes the fact of free-willness and fully justifies any length delay in the execution of justice provided the extended mercy might conduce to repentance and rehabilitation.
Ø The Mercy Delays of Time are by the mandate of the free will of the Creators. There is good to be derived in the universe from this technique of patience in dealing with sinful rebels.
While it is all too true that good cannot come of evil to the one who contemplates and performs evil, it is equally true that all things (including evil, potential and manifest) work together for good to all beings who know God, love to do his will, and are ascending Paradise world according to his eternal plan and divine purpose.
Ø Deadbeat dads are held accountable. Does the father exist? Not for many abandoned children, especially in the black community.
Pass2-Midpoint-
Turning Point2-Ø Underground, within the crooked halls beneath the city streets, fabricated is another entrance, The Males of the fetuses…
Ø The SOUND of flies buzzing.
Ø What if light and love were removed from the world, permanently? Eternal death of the souls on earth. Every birth, is soul-less, not corporeal and not exactly incorporeal.
Ø Humanity! The monster amongst us. From wars, murders, rapes, irresponsible abortions, human freewill is established.
Ø “In God we trust”? The indebted/insolvent Monetary System.
Ø Denial of Horror. The devil, Satan, Lucifer are not real. They are character’s of fiction. Humanity is the real monster.
Point of No Return-One of US killed.
· Our main character, in the beginning! He learns that he had a near life experience, near death; this open the world of possibilities (parallel worlds, time shift, all kinds of things).
· Babies are aborted.
· One particular womb, has had multiple abortions; anymore and the womb may become barren. This barren womb possibility is explored later in the story.
· When they learned what had happened to Eve, the infuriated
inhabitants of the Garden became unmanageable; they declared war on the near-by Nodite settlement. They swept out through the gates of Eden and down upon these unprepared people, utterly destroying them—not a man, woman, or child was spared. And Cano, the father of Cain yet unborn, also perished.
Upon the realization of what had happened, Serapatatia was overcome with consternation and beside himself with fear and remorse. The next day he drowned himself in the great river.
Pass2-ACT
3: pages 60-90.Pass2-Rethink
everything-Ø Time lag of mercy, Of the many reasons known to me as to why Lucifer and his confederates were not sooner interned or adjudicated, I am permitted to recite the following:
1. Mercy requires that every wrongdoer have sufficient time in which to formulate a deliberate and fully chosen attitude regarding his evil thoughts and sinful acts.
2. Supreme justice is dominated by a father’s love; therefore will justice never destroy that which mercy can save. Time to accept salvation is vouchsafed every evildoer. (Note, our protagonist has father issues due to abandonment, therefore this statement has no merit.)
3. No affectionate father is ever precipitate in visiting punishment upon an erring member of his family. Patience cannot function independently of time.
Pass2-New
Plan-Ø Trust no one. Full out horror. Death returns to take one or more.
Ø Hysteria. Caligastia (the devil), your apostate Planetary Prince, is still free on earth, to Prosecute his nefarious designs, but he has absolutely no power to enter the minds of men, neither can he draw near to their souls to tempt or corrupt them unless they really desire to be cursed with his wicked presence.
Ø The last act of Michael before leaving UrantiaEarth was to offer mercy to Caligastia (The Devil) and his assistant Daligastia, but they spurned his tender proffer.
Pass2-Turning
Point3-The
thrilling escape from death.Lucifer, the devil and Satan are not on trial for murder. No, humans are!
What Lucifer rebellion is guilty of, which is what Gabriel vs. Lucifer are the charges listed.
The thrilling escape from death for the Lucifer rebellion is the fact that humanity has killed life via abortion, suicide, without remorse need for self-protection, including Christ.
The lucifer rebellion is insurmountable to the heinous crime’s humanity has perpetrated against life itself.
Keep in-mind the lucifer rebellion is not innocent of guilt, and accountability of responsibility needs to be just, but with the intentional taking of life because of selfish decisions, humanity loses freewill, with birthing process.
Human birthing processes will be automated by “sentient beings of upload”. No human born of earth, will be allowed off earth due to contamination (air, water, food, etc) The imperfection of humanity, gives the “devil a win”.

Climax/Ultimate expression of the conflict-“The Omen” 1:08:16 “So the devil’s child, will rise from the world of politics”.
Pass2-Resolution-
Ø Fight to the death. In short, what God had given men and angels Lucifer would have taken away from them, that is, the divine privilege of participating in the creation of their own destinies and of the destiny of this local system of inhabited worlds.
Ø Hysteria. Anti-Matter + aborted fetuses + vaccine = 1056665, the Anti-Christ is born of man.
Ø Termination and adjudication of the blasphemous pretensions of Caligastia (The devil) and Lucifer forever ending the shameful misrepresentations of these fallen children of light.

Concept–
Did Apollo14’s Edgar D. Mitchell (EDM), the sixth-man who (supposedly) walked on the Moon, conduct a secret experiment into human-consciousness while travelling to the Moon?
Main
Conflict–Ø During the voyage EDM made a test in Extra-Sensory Perception (ESP), attempting to send information telepathically to four receivers on earth.
Ø “My (EDM) real interest is-and has been for many years-to understand the nature of consciousness and the relationship of body to mind.”
Old Ways–
Ø The rational man in EDM had to recognize the validity of the non-rational cognitive process. That familiarity and confidence, though, there were moments during the flight when EDM felt an amazed and profound respect for the rational abilities of the human intellect-that it could find ways to guide a tiny capsule of metal through a half-million miles of Space, with such precision and accuracy.
New Ways–
Ø Consciousness-was altered profoundly. EDM came to feel a moral responsibility to pass on the transformative experience of seeing Earth from the larger perspective.
Ø Because of the experiences on THIS mission, EDM gained a new perspective of life on our planet—a perspective that eventually led him to engage in efforts to explore the potential of the “inner space” of the human consciousness, and to thereby find better ways to increase mankind’s sense of personal fulfillment and global unity.

Quote:If we continue without change and without growth in our basic thinking and behavior, we will, despite spectacular technological feats, eventually end the evolutionary experiment known as man.
“There is no planet b”. -André.
January 31, 1971. Kennedy Space Center, Cape Canaveral Florida.
On Launch-Pad 39A, preparing for Launch into Space, destination -The Moon (and safe return back to Earth) is Apollo14, a SUPER-HEAVY-LIFT LAUNCH-THREE-STAGE-SATURN 5-ROCKET! Loaded with 105,000+ pounds of explodable LIQUID-FUEL. Essentially, a Bomb! Onboard that bomb is a three-manned Crew: EDGAR D. MITCHELL, STU ROOSA and ALAN B. SHEPARD. Equipped with tons of experiments.
Our COUNTDOWN LEADER to LAUNCH of ANTARES ticks down to… LAUNCH! WE ascend into DARKNESS, BLACKNESS. Into, that wild blue-yonder known as SPACE.
The Blackness of Space fills with STARS, CONSTEELLATIONS, and other space objects become visible when our ANTARES, Silently crosses in-front of our screen.
The Intellectual capacity for knowing God- consciousness.
What is “Consciousness?
240,000 miles above Earth, in Space, is the lunar module- Antares.
Piloting the Antares Lunar Module, is Our flawed and somewhat dejected Leading Man and Protagonist Dr. EDGAR D. MITCHELL; a pragmatic Test Pilot, Engineer, and Scientist. Who becomes the sixth-Man to explore the Surface of the Moon! Along for the ride are Alan B. Shepard Jr. and Stu Roosa.
“If we continue without change and without growth in our basic thinking and behavior, we will, despite spectacular technological feats, eventually end the evolutionary experiment known as man.”-EDM
Juxtaposition 240,000 miles below, PEOPLE of Earth, “Earthlings” fighting deadly Wars.
We commit senseless and meaningless murder; and other crimes- lying, cheating, on the only planet We have.
We struggle for power and status above one another, on the only planet We have. There is no planet b.
We abuse the environment of Our Planet by polluting the water and air, wasting natural resources, and ravage the land- acting out of lust and greed; hurting others through intolerance, bigotry, prejudice, and all the things that add up to man’s inhumanity to man.
Earth, Planet A. There is no planet b; not for earthlings.

Incident Tie with Dramatic Purpose.Star constellations form Captions:
(Time) February 05, 1971.
Ø “In February 1971, I had the privilege of walking on the moon as a member of the Apollo 14 lunar expedition.”
Ø “During the voyage I made a test in extrasensory perception (ESP), attempting to send information telepathically to four receivers on earth.”
Ø “But what has all this to do with the problem of changing consciousness? For me, our planet from space was an event with some of the qualities traditionally ascribed to religious experience.
It triggered a deep insight into the nature of existence-the sort of insight that radically changes the inner person.”

Edited opening to The Planetary Prince.
Human freewill was established 500,000 years before Lucifer arrived.
“Be you perfect, even as I am perfect.”
Perfection was never perfected. Progress is the best We can hope for.
The arrival of the Prince’s Staff created a profound impression.
While it required almost a thousand years for the news to spread abroad, those tribes near the Mesopotamian headquarters were tremendously influenced by the teachings and conduct of the One-Hundred.
Much of our mythology grew out of the garbled legends of these early days when these members of the Prince’s Staff were repersonalized as Supermen and Superwomen.
The serious obstacle to the good influence of such extra-planetary teachers is the tendency of mortals to regard them as gods,
But the corporeal staff were nonetheless super-human.
There were no peculiar or special conditions in the system of Satania which suggested or favored rebellion.
It is our belief that the idea took origin and form in Lucifer’s mind, and that he might have instigated such a rebellion no matter where he might have been stationed.
Lucifer first announced his plans to Satan, but it required several months to corrupt the mind of his able and brilliant associate.
However, when once converted to the rebel theories, he became a bold and earnest advocate of “Self-Assertion and Liberty.”
Urantia book Paper 53:2.2 (602.5)
“The loyal princes of the inhabited worlds are permanently attached to the planets of their original assignment.”
Paradise Sons and their dispensations may come and go, but a successful Planetary Prince continues on as the ruler of his realm.
The War in Heaven was very terrible and very real. While displaying none of the barbarities so characteristic of physical warfare on the immature worlds, this conflict was far more DEADLY! Material life is in jeopardy in material combat, typical human warfare; BUT the war in heaven, was fought in terms of life-eternal.
And it is this “life-eternal”- Annihilation, that of Lucifer’s existence, is on trial, in Gabriel vs. Lucifer.

Pam’s 4 Act Transformational Structure
One-Sentence Vision: I will turn my ideas into produced hit movies and live a happy, successful life as a writer and industry professional.
What I learned from doing this assignment: I had an old outline for this story from Horror class that did not include the Transformational Journey. I decided to start from scratch and look at it from a fresh perspective.
– – – – – –Concept: COLD-BLOODED BEAUTY (Horror/Comedy)
A graphic designer in a midlife crisis tries an amazing new anti-aging night cream, unaware that its secret ingredient — reptile stem cells — is transforming herself and her neighbors into reptilian predators while they sleep.Main conflict: The path that our protagonist chooses to solve her problems is a very dangerous one.
Old ways: Insecure, poor self-image, vulnerable to bad decisions, afraid to pursue dreams
New Ways: Confident, accepts herself, makes courageous moral choices, pursues dreams
– – – – – – –ACT 1: (Show the Old Ways)
Opening: Eve loses out on a promotion at the ad agency… to an intern. After work, she gets dumped by her boyfriend, who’s been seeing some young bimbo. When she retreats to her home, she’s surprised by guests, including her best friend from high school (a former prom queen) Zivia, there to celebrate her 50th birthday.Inciting Incident: Zivia, a local TV personality, hosts a LeZarde Cosmetics party for her aunt, the company’s founder. She ropes Eve into attending, and also asks her to be her Maid-of-Honor. Eve accepts.
Turning Point: Eve reluctantly commits to a “Youthful Beauty kit” and agrees to be included in the anti-aging night cream test group as well as Before/After testimonials, despite the fact that she hates attention.
ACT 2: (Old Ways are challenged in Eve’s New World)
New plan: Eve decides to see where the Youthful Beauty kit will take her, and take advantage of her newer, younger self in her career and social situations.
Plan in action:
– She signs up for a fine-art painting class, but walks out when she realizes she is surrounded by talented 20-somethings.
– She asks out a guy at work, but for all the wrong reasons. He declines her invitation.
– Strange things are happening around town. Most of which go unnoticed, while everyone’s focused on their own reflections.Midpoint/Turning Point: (The whole first half of the movie was a con.)
Eve discovers that the night cream, while amazingly effective, has been turning her and others into nocturnal, reptilian predators while they sleep.ACT 3: (Profound Moments Give Birth to New Ways)
Rethink everything:
– She suspects that Jessica must know of the product’s dangerous side effects, but is only interested in the money.
– Eve grapples with whether or not to continue use of the night cream. She looks fantastic and doesn’t want to lose her new, younger man. On the other hand, she’s afraid to spend the night with him.New plan:

New plan: Eve will secretly gather the proof needed to arrest Jessica and stop distribution of the night cream.Climax/Ultimate expression of the conflict: Big finale at Zivia’s night wedding. At least a third of the guests have been using the night cream and look amazingly young. But Eve looks beautiful as she shows her true age, with New Guy by her side. At midnight, all hell breaks loose on the dance floor: a major lizard metamorphosis and subsequent brawl. When Zivia accidently harms her husband, Eve ties her up for her own safety. Eve tries to capture Jessica, but she escapes.
Resolution:
– While police confiscate cases of LeZarde’s night cream at the company’s headquarters, Jessica drags Eve into the water. Eve manages to free herself and swim to safety. Jessica drowns as she changes back into a human.

Subject Line: John P. Hallar’s 4 Act Transformational Structure
My vision: To be a successful, highly sought after, highly paid writer who has had multiple movies produced and optioned.
What I learned from doing this assignment is: How to build the structure of the script first.
Concept: A 62-year-old guitarist/caregiver forms a band with elderly musicians in the retirement home he works at. Little did he know that some of the patients in the retirement home were world famous musicians in their heyday and proving age can’t silence the timeless passion for music.
Main Conflict: Eve forces Melody to sell her house and be put into a home. Melody wants to die at home rather than put in a cage to die.
Old Ways: Grumpy, not interested in doing anything, not motivated, not alive. Not interested in singing or playing with a band. Mad!
New Ways: Excited, full of life. Motivated and pleasant around the other residents. Eager to play music.
Act 1:
Opening – Melody is at home, sitting in her favorite, beautiful glass enclosed conservatory while movers move her furniture. We also see a For Sale sign going up in the front yard as well as a scene at the doctor for Melody’s lung condition.
Inciting Incident – Melody gets moved into Silver Symphony Residence. Eve and the granddaughter bring some of Melody’s possessions, some are awards, two are Grammy’s plus some of her albums. One day when Jim, the new caregiver to Silver Symphony Residence, is bringing Melody her medicines and breathing treatments, he notices the Grammy’s on her shelves.
Turning Point – A scene at the doctor for Melody’s granddaughter’s diagnosis and need for heart surgery. Eve and Melody must now find a way to raise money for her granddaughter’s surgery.
Act 2:
New Plan – Jim, driven by the desire to help Melody’s granddaughter and inspired by the musical talents of the residents, proposes the idea of forming a band with them. Melody and the other residents tentatively agree, and the new plan is set in motion. They decide to prepare for a special performance to raise money for the granddaughter’s heart surgery.
Plan in Action – Rehearsals begin, and the group faces the challenges of organizing a band with elderly members. They navigate through humorous and heartwarming moments as they rediscover their musical skills and bond over their shared love for music. The retirement home transforms into a lively space filled with the sounds of instruments and laughter.
MIDPOINT Turning Point 2 – The midpoint turning point comes during a pivotal rehearsal. The group faces internal conflicts and doubts about their ability to pull off a successful performance due to very real physical and mental decline. Tensions rise, and it seems like the dream of raising money for the surgery is slipping away.
Act 3:
Rethink Everything – The midpoint turning point comes during a pivotal rehearsal. The group faces internal conflicts and doubts about their ability to pull off a successful performance. Tensions rise, and it seems like the dream of raising money for the surgery might be slipping away. In this moment of crisis, a surprising event or revelation occurs, pushing the characters to confront their fears and recommit to the cause.
New Plan – The residents come together to create a new plan, incorporating the lessons learned from their challenges. They adjust their performance, address personal conflicts, and find innovative ways to make the final show a resounding success. The new plan reflects a renewed sense of determination and unity among the group.
Turning Point: Major Setback – The turning point takes a surprising turn as the bands keyboardist, Oliver “Keys” Davis, dies. By Melody’s POV, at a minimum, it could be her and Keys to play for the performance but now Keys is gone. She can’t trust the other residents to be able to perform. She decides to cancel the performance.
Act 4:
Climax – Jim remembers a great jazz pianist he met earlier and asks him to fill in. He accepts. The climax unfolds during the final performance. The band, despite setbacks, delivers a captivating and emotional show that resonates with the audience. The culmination of their efforts, combined with the unexpected challenges they faced, makes the performance even more poignant. The audience, including Melody’s family, is moved by the music and the story behind it. So much so that the YouTube video and story go viral, and a GoFundMe account is started. Due to overwhelming support, Melody and Eve raise enough money.
Resolution – Melody’s granddaughter’s surgery is successful. The retirement home, once a “cage to die in” for Melody becomes a vibrant group of friends for Melody. Celebrating the enduring spirit of music and friendship. The sale of Melody’s house falls through and she could move back into it but now, having her newfound friends and responsibilities, decides to stay at Silver Symphony Residence.

Vision: I want to write a smart, well-written, and blockbuster script which I can then produce and direct.
What I learned from doing this assignment is: that is great to see how clearer the story is becoming.
Subject Line: WIM – Vernall Ritchey – 4 Act Transformational Structure
Concept: An attentive caregiver and soon-to-be nun attempts to exorcise a demon in a bedridden priest, but the exorcism fails as it becomes clear that the real battle lies not in his exorcism but in hers. She is the true demonic entity.
Old Ways:
-
Attentive kind Caregiver
-
Committed to her Catholic faith
-
Brave and courageous
-
Prayer heals all
New Ways:
-
Evil Demon
-
Paranoid
-
Fanatical and Manipulative
-
Sadistic
Act 1:
-
Opening: Kyla is introduced as an attentive Caregiver and soon-to-be nun deeply committed to her faith, showing compassion and dedication to Father Gill’s well-being, while subtly hinting that a demonic force has entered the house to possess her and Father Gill.
· Inciting Incident: There’s a loud NOISE hinting that a demonic force has entered the house.
-
Turning Point 1: Kyla, trapped in Father Gill’s bedroom, experiences a demonic presence and concludes that a demonic entity has possessed Father Gill.
Act 2:
-
New plan: Kyla concocts various methods to expel the demonic entity from Father Gill.
-
Plan in action: Kyla performs an exorcism wherein she escalates sinister methods to rid Father Gill of the demon.
-
Midpoint Turning Point: Kyla sadistically beats Father Gill to the point where he stops breathing and has to be resuscitated. Her thought is that by killing him, she also kills the demon. He is in essence born again.
Act 3:
-
Rethink everything: Kyla reaches out to Father Moore and 911 for help with Father Gill’s possession.
-
New plan: A paranoid Kyla throws the kitchen sink at Father Gill in an attempt to exorcise him. She binds him, forces purification concoctions down his throat forcing him to choke and his heart to stop beating. She resuscitates him in a different way than before.
-
Turning Point 2 – Huge failure / Major shift: Kyla’s true demonic identity is fully revealed, when the room turns upside down and Kyla is exposed as the person who is possessed by the demon, not Father Gill – shifting the audience’s perception of her as not only a monster in the inside, but the outside too.
Act 4:
-
Climax/Ultimate expression of the conflict: Kyla faces Father Gill, Father Moore, and Father Lyle in a final battle of wills, where her demonic nature is fully unleashed.
-
Resolution: The battle’s aftermath shows the new status quo for Kyla and the Fathers. The ultimate confrontation is not only with Father Gill but with the demonic entity that resides within Kyla herself. Manifest as a physical form, an internal voice, or even a dark reflection of her personality. Through this internal battle, Kyla confronts her fears, doubts, and temptations. She must choose between giving in to the demon’s darkness or embracing the light within her, ultimately forging a path toward self-acceptance and redemption.
