This short film's first act successfully introduces the film, it begins by showing the viewers a normal day on the farm. It is sunny and colorful with light music which indicates at the mood and atmosphere of the film. We see clearly that is is set on a farm with simple shots of the barn and farm animals. The main character is introduced as seemingly going about his daily business on the farm. Soon after, we are revealed the inciting incident, as the farmer stumbles upon a chicken-less chicken nest, only to find that the chicken is floating in the rafters as a chock shaped helium balloon. Next we see a cow has followed suit and is also ballooned up, it is struggling to enter the barn. This marks the first plot point of the film. Also almost as a' second' first plot point we here a women scream, as a rat has also ballooned in the farmers lounge. This ends the first act of the short film
