Lifted: January 25

The video I decided to use for this blog is a Pixar animated short entitled, lifted. It is a pretty simple clip and also it also makes one look at this situation in a different light, even thought it is most likely never to actually happens. The exposition of the clip is a farmer who is asleep in his house and everything is quiet. Then from his window, a beam of light appears as he starts to get abducted, one could argue that this is the inciting incident but I think that it is when he hits his headland does not easily go through the window. This moment foreshadows the rest of the clip because it creates the conflict. The rising action is when the scene cuts to inside the alien ship and you see a small alien looking at a vast table of switches, that control how the abducted gets moved around and you realize that it is a test. The young alien is nervous and has no idea what he is doing and just flips out and presses as many buttons as he can. The climax of the clip is when he finally is able to get the farmer out the window and in to the alien ship but then he drops him only to be saved by the mentor. This I would consider the climax because it is a release of tension as the more experienced alien takes control of the situation. The falling action is when the mentor alien takes control and puts everything back together and gets the farmer back in his bed. The resolution is the when the little alien realizes that he really did his job badly and probably wont be allowed to abduct someone for a while. The conclusion is after all is set right in the house of the poor farmer the two aliens start to get ready to fly away and the little alien begs the big alien to let him fly the alien ship. This is the conclusion because even though the alien made a few mistakes he is allowed one more chance. The moral and theme of the story is that everybody goes through hard ship and trials even aliens.
