an object or device in a film or a book which serves merely as a trigger for the plot.
This morning we brainstormed two objects, we had to explore ideas of what the object is and can be used for using lateral thinking, then we had to write a short story surrounding that object.
McGuffins in movies:
The ring in Lord of the rings
The story is based around one ring which controls The rings of power. It has affected anyone who’s ever came into contact with it including Smeagol who is then turned into Gollum.
For the second part of the lesson we brainstormed ideas again based on pictures and we had to write another story based on it
