Thanks for putting this together, Jube. I'm excited. Once question: does anyone know how to tag this group so I get notified whenever a message is added to this board?  I don't want to miss any conversations and currently, I won't see them unless I log on and during the work week, I don't log on often.

Hi everyone! I know the week is nearly done but wanted to add my lesson here, though it might be too late.

The only movie I've seen from the list is Harry Potter, so I'll choose another.  The first to jump to my head is the Sound of Music.  Not so recent days but it should work for the assignment.

(A) The inciting incident

The inciting incident is when Maria is sent to work for the family.  She didn't want to go, it wasn't her idea, but it was a situation she was forced to deal with.

(B) The conflict (both external and internal) and what category they belong to (character versus society, character versus self, etc.)

The external conflict would be character versus man.  Or in this case, a huge family full of prankful children that she must earn their trust and find a way to instill guidance with.

The internal conflict is Maria's pull away from the church even though she feels it is her duty to serve it.

(C) An explanation of the tension in a particular scene (why do we feel tension and what techniques does the author or film-maker use to create it?)

The scene that jumps to mind is when the father is driving home and sees his children hanging from trees like monkeys. Then, at the moment he wants them to make a good impression for his new bride, they fall into the water and come out dripping.  This is the first time Maria really deals with the father and comes to learn quickly that he is not fun and does not accept her ways with the children.  This causes tension in the house, not only with the children needing to return to their father's way of behaving, but also between him and Maria who do not see eye too eye with how children should live.

One of my all-time favorite movies.
