PLOT DEVELOPMENT There are four stages when it comes to
plot development.1. Set-up- Meeting the characters2. Complicating Action- Action goes in a
new direction3. Development- Goals are set but many
incidents are there to create action and delay
4. Climax/Epilogue- Will the goals be reached?

TRANSITION(SECTION 1) Once Marion is done drinking is about
the time where the movie goes from Set-up to Complicating action. After she is done drinking we learn what all of the characters are like. Indy is a brave hero while Marion is a tough girl who is always getting into trouble.

TRANSITION(SECTION 2) After Indy finds where the Ark is hidden
because we know that he must find the Ark before Belloq figures out the location. This sets up all the action that is about to happen, and it shows that Indy must achieve his double goal of saving Marion.

TRANSITION(SECTION 3) The last transition is when Marion and
Indy get captured by the Nazis and are tied to the pole together while the Ark takes the Nazis’ lives. They all disappear while Indy and Marion are still left letting us know that he has achieved his goals of getting the girl and saving the Ark.

WHAT IS A DANGLING CAUSE? A dangling cause is something such
as: lines, images, and/or actions, that are planted early in the film and reappear in the film at a later time period.
![Page 8: 4 Segments, Dangling Causes, and Motifs Through Indiana Jones and The lost Ark](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56815c53550346895dca548f/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
"I HATE SNAKES" A dangling causes is Indy is in the
plane and a snake crawls out of the cockpit onto him an he says that line. Then, when he discovers where the Ark is he finds out that it is guarded by snakes. He must battle the snakes to get the Ark out.
![Page 9: 4 Segments, Dangling Causes, and Motifs Through Indiana Jones and The lost Ark](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56815c53550346895dca548f/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
BOTTOMS UP Another dangling cause is we learn that
Marion is hard drinker because she has a drinking contest with another person. She out-drinks the person, and this becomes vital because she uses her strength to try to escape the confinement of Dr. Belloq
![Page 10: 4 Segments, Dangling Causes, and Motifs Through Indiana Jones and The lost Ark](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56815c53550346895dca548f/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
PSSSSSSH A dangling cause the audience learns is
at the beginning one of the Nazis burns his hand on the medallion. This becomes key because the Nazis only has half the information of the stick to find the Ark. The staff isn't long enough so they don't find the Ark.

MOTIF…WHAT IS THAT? These are lines, actions, colors, images,
or musical themes that are intertwined throughout the film in order to produce a consistent text.
![Page 12: 4 Segments, Dangling Causes, and Motifs Through Indiana Jones and The lost Ark](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56815c53550346895dca548f/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
RED The motif of red is used for multiple
reasons. The first reason is for love. Red is also used to show when there is death. Last it is used to show where the Indy and Marion are traveling.
![Page 13: 4 Segments, Dangling Causes, and Motifs Through Indiana Jones and The lost Ark](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56815c53550346895dca548f/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
INDY Anytime Indy does something heroic
like trying to get Marion out of the plane that is about to explode. Anytime they travel somewhere or he does something smart is when his theme song is played.
![Page 14: 4 Segments, Dangling Causes, and Motifs Through Indiana Jones and The lost Ark](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56815c53550346895dca548f/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
MARION Marion's theme occurs anytime when
her and Indy are having a love moment with Indy like standing on the stairs or right after the Ark takes everyone that looked at it. Also, her theme occurs whenever something sad happens to her.
![Page 15: 4 Segments, Dangling Causes, and Motifs Through Indiana Jones and The lost Ark](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56815c53550346895dca548f/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
THE ARK Anytime the Ark's theme is played is
when something mysterious has happened like when Indy discovers that the Nazis have found the digging site while his book is open. Another time the theme is played is whenever it is in view of the characters like when Indy first discovers it.

CONCLUSION Raiders of the Lost Ark was a great
demonstration of the 4 stages of plot development, motifs, and dangling causes. Not to mention it is one of the greatest movies of all time!
