Whose murder?
>>>>but things go wrong and she needs to think fast and make a new plan before her husband kills her.
Is that what happens at the end of Act 1 or is it the mid-point reversal?
>>>frame her violently jealous husband for his murder
Who is murdering whom?? Does the wife kill the lawyer in order to frame her husband?? Or set him up for the husband to kill?
Okay, I think I understand, however, having someone?murdered in order to get out of a bad marriage is not a very likable thing to do. Why do we want the lead character to succeed?
I know I am asking a lot of questions, however, is the inciting incident when the lead character seduces the lawyer or is it when the seduction/murder goes wrong? (Or is it something else)
Also, how does it go wrong? Does the lead character fail to kill the sexaholic lawyer or does she succeed in killing the lawyer but fails to frame her husband?
Thanks for your comments, guys.
I have a question that’s related to my logline:? in a non-linear script is the lnciting incident found in the actual chain of events or in the plot structure? For instance, in a film such as ‘The Usual Suspects’ is the inciting incident the ship blowing up or the five criminals finding themselves together in a Police cell?
I’m re-drafting my logline to reference the flashback structure of my script and I’m posting it as a fresh logline.
