Theme Stated (happens during the Set-up) – Anna going on a quest
Catalyst – The moment where life as it is changes. It is the telegram, the act of catching your loved-one cheating, allowing a monster onboard the ship, meeting the true love of your life, etc. The “before” world is no more, change is underway.
Debate – But change is scary and for a moment, or a brief number of moments, the main character doubts the journey they must take. Can I face this challenge? Do I have what it takes? Should I go at all? It is the last chance for the hero to chicken out.
Break Into Two (Choosing Act Two) – The main character makes a choice and the journey begins. We leave the “Thesis” world and enter the upside-down, opposite world of Act Two.
B Story – Krisoff takes Anna to see the trolls after seeing Anna's hair turn white
The Promise of the Premise – This is the fun part of the story. This is when Craig Thompson’s relationship with Raina blooms, when Indiana Jones tries to beat the Nazis to the Lost Ark, when the detective finds the most clues and dodges the most bullets. This is when the main character explores the new world and the audience is entertained by the premise they have been promised.
Midpoint – Dependent upon the story, this moment is when everything is “great” or everything is “awful”. The main character either gets everything they think they want (“great”) or doesn’t get what they think they want at all (“awful”). But not everything we think we want is what we actually need in the end.
Bad Guys Close In – The Duke, Hans and his cronies capture Elsa.
All is Lost – Anna Heart becomes frozen when Elsa strikes her heart and Hans betray her to kill Elsa.
Dark Night of the Soul – Anna freezes and Elsa mourns her death until Anna revives.
Break Into Three (Choosing Act Three) – Anna and Elsa unfreeze Arendelle.
Finale – Elsa's second coronation becomes a success
Final Image – opposite of Opening Image, proving, visually, that a change has occurred within the character.
THE END
