Hi, English is not my mother tongue so I apologize for any mistakes!
I’d appreciate your hints!
I have a problem with the transformation of a hero, the point is that he changed from an arrogant, careless, insignificant orphan into a hard and ruthless leader of the Jewish uprising in three years, and I don’t know how to include this in the last part of the logline. That is, he actually had to become a better person, to overcome the consequences of his orphanage in order to take responsibility for his comrades and stand up to fight. I don’t know if this is visible in my logline.
Nicolasj:
It is not critical to lay out the character arc in a logline.? Although the character arc can be suggested by one or two adjectives describing a character flaw.
It is more important to describe the basic plot.? In the case of your script. where are you beginning the story of Marek Edelman?? When the occupying Germans herded Jews into the confines of? Warsaw ghetto in November, 1940?? Earlier?? Later?? What is the inciting incident that sets the plot in motion?
