What I learned doing this assignment is that it might be more fun to write action movies than to watch them. Also, thinking about the ending is a good way to start with filling in ideas, and then the ideas just keep coming.

Concept: Alanah Quartermaine, an African American woman and the descendant of the Alan Quartermaine continues her family’s legacy of big game hunting, only this time she’s hunting something Alien in the Boundary Waters of Minnesota.

Conventions

Highly Skilled Hero: Alanah Quartermaine with a family legacy of adventure and an unparralled affinity for tracking in her blood.<div>

Demand For Action: A mysterious government agency wanter her to apply her big game tracking skills, to hunt down an alien that has crash landed in the Minnesota Boundary Waters.

Mission: Kill the thing before it spreads to more populated areas and starts killing more than the occasional hiker.

Antagonist: The Agency scientist that actually woke it up and set it loose in the boundary waters to see how to weaponize it and make money. He doesn’t want it killed he wants it captured so he can dissect and splice it.

Escalating Action: It replicates and grows quickly, the things that have been killing the hikers, have just been babies.

I, DD Mosley, agree to the terms of this release form:

GROUP RELEASE FORM

As a member of this group, I agree to the following:

1. That I will keep the processes, strategies, teleconferences, communications, lessons, and models of the class confidential, and that I will NOT share any of this program either privately, with a group, posting online, writing articles, through video or computer programming, or in any other way that would make those processes, teleconferences, communications, lessons, and models of the class available to anyone who is not a member of this class.

2. That each writer’s work here is copyrighted and that writer is the sole owner of that work. That includes this program which is copyrighted by Hal Croasmun. I acknowledge that submission of an idea to this group constitutes a claim of and the recognition of ownership of that idea.

I will keep the other writer’s ideas and writing confidential and will not share this information with anyone without the express written permission of the writer/owner. I will not market or even discuss this information with anyone outside this group.

3. I also understand that many stories and ideas are similar and/or have common themes and from time to time, two or more people can independently and simultaneously generate the same concept or movie idea.

4. If I have an idea that is the same as or very similar to another group member’s idea, I’ll immediately contact Hal and present proof that I had this idea prior to the beginning of the class. If Hal deems them to be the same idea or close enough to cause harm to either party, he’ll request both parties to present another concept for the class.

5. If you don’t present proof to Hal that you have the same idea as another person, you agree that all ideas presented to this group are the sole ownership of the person who presented them and you will not write or market another group member’s ideas.

6. Finally, I agree not to bring suit against anyone in this group for any reason, unless they use a substantial portion of my copyrighted work in a manner that is public and/or that prevents me from marketing my script by shopping it to production companies, agents, managers, actors, networks, studios or any other entertainment industry organizations or people.
