The Meeting research

After watching the short films with everyone in class I decided to have a look at other drama pieces and find where the key elements are formed.

Doctor Who

Doctor Who has just returned with a new series and the first episode is very different to what I have seen before. Usually the main characters are the doctor and his companion, Clara. In the first episode 'The Magicians Apprentice' we see someone called Missy who is featured throughout the episode. Clara is the protagonist while Missy is the antagonist.

The meeting -    

Clara is at her day job teaching when she notices that the planes have stopped in the sky. She goes to the lab to find out more information and find out what is stopping the planes. Clara is asked to meet up with Missy. Clara learns that the doctor is soon going to die and Missy needs her help. She explains to Clara how she knows the doctor and is best friends with him. Clara dons't believe it and Missy starts shooting the armed responses surrounding Clara. Clara wants to believe what Missy is saying and demands Missy to release the planes. They then search for the doctor together.

I feel this is a good example as i can see the goal, conflict and change.

Goal-  Clara wants to find the doctor and help him. To work with Missy and show she cares for him.

Conflict-  Missy starts shooting around Clara, Clara needs to believe what Missy is trying to tell her.

Change-  Clara wants to help Missy and find the Doctor.  They both work together and search for him.
