3 Act Structure

Fault

STATUS QUO

Nick has a living robot girlfriend who he uses as a machine. May is our protagonist and is completely devoted to Nick but miserable. She does whatever he wants and takes abuse for everything else. This is her life and she has become used to it.

INCITING INCIDENT

Nick goes out with some friends and May has to walk home. She is attacked by yobs who throw a magnet at her. It starts to rain.

1ST ACT TURNING POINT

May becomes ill from the magnet and rain. Nick threatens that if he doesn’t get better she will be thrown out.

2ND ACT GOAL

May does her best to house-keep, cooking, cleaning, charging, washing etc. And sits expectantly, waiting for Nick to arrive home from work.

2ND ACT TURNING POINT

Nick arrives home with a new robot girlfriend named Sandy. He ignores all that May has done and tells her she shouldn’t have cooked because he’s having friends over to watch the football and they’ll order pizza. May’s strength finally gives out and she collapses. Nick drives her to a refuge site and dumps her by some bins.

CLIMAX

No one turns up to nicks house for the football and Sandy is not good company. Nick decides he should get May back because he realises he misses her. He eventually finds her after a few obstacles and gets her home where her survival seems uncertain.

RESOLUTION

She is ok and they live on together as a couple.

Welcome!

This is a place where we can post stuff and all get a good look at it to save emailing everyone every little piece of everything!

Any ideas, influences and work done can be posted on here so we can all see it and comment.

It will not replace group meeting but instead, save paper/time & effort in getting stuff out to people.

If in doubt, post it! I'd rather have lots of semi-relevant stuff than nothing at all!
