A group of seven people–A punk, a weirdo, an awkward geek, a badass, a sick boy, a psychologist and a poet– is invited to interact with some charismatic Artificial Intelligences in an isolated building when they soon find themselves trying to figure which of the guests are actually human and who’s been tested too.
As Richiev said.? It seems like more of a situation than a plot because there is nothing at stake.? Nothing is at risk.? Nobody has anything important to gain by figuring out who the AI robot is or anything important to lose by failing.

See lessA crusty veteran of an interstellar war just wants to spend his retirement in peace. A notorious space pirate accuses him of stealing an alien artifact. He?s got 72 hours to turn it over, or he?ll kill the grandson he never knew he had.
Good point about most people wanting peace. I suppose it would be more accurate to say that he's a loner and wants to keep to himself. I've just started brainstorming this idea, and haven't nailed down all the details, yet. I haven't filled in all the beats on the beat sheet, just the beginning, midRead more
Good point about most people wanting peace. I suppose it would be more accurate to say that he’s a loner and wants to keep to himself.
I’ve just started brainstorming this idea, and haven’t nailed down all the details, yet. I haven’t filled in all the beats on the beat sheet, just the beginning, middle, and end, plus Theme Stated.
I listened to the latest episode of ScriptNotes Podcast the other day, where Craig Mazin goes over his views on screenplay structure, using Finding Nemo as an example. Basically, I’m onboard with the MPR bit.
One thing I didn’t include in the logline, to keep it short(er), was that an old friend, another veteran, turns up early on and is the one who tells the protagonist about the pirate and the ultimatum. I’m thinking the Midpoint Reversal is that the protagonist finds the artifact but the old “Friend” comes along and takes it from him because he set it all up so that the protagonist would lead him to it.? The Protagonist then has to defeat the pirate and the “friend” who’s working with the pirate. It was also because the “friend” was so unreliable that the Protagonist wanted to keep to himself?in the first place.

I'm confused on one point: the almost extinct species guards the source of life, and yet the only ones left are killers? How about: When a lonely orphan discovers she belongs to an almost-extinct race, she must prevent those of her kind who remain from destroying humanity.
