The logline sets up an interesting ?situation but it?doesn’t spell out a plot.?? It establishes what the 1st 30 pages are about but?not what a?script reader can?look forward to in the next?60 that builds upon and follows as a consequence of?the 1st 30.
As a result of coming upon these crucifixions, what does the filmmaker do?? What becomes his dramatic purpose, his?objective goal?? Who becomes his adversary -? who threatens to defeat his achieving of his dramatic purpose?
“When a failed filmmaker discovers a town crucifying men to purge sin, he must…” (Then tell us what he must do)
Hello, I LOVE the idea: the main character (failed documentarist) and the inciting incident (the crucifiction practices), PLEASE try to articulate the plot starting from that. Try to analyze “the wicker man” (the original and the remake), I think you can find ?some clues about how to structure your story. Maybe the documentarist receive a call from an old friend or an ex collegue telling him to come to the town. ?When he founds his friend crucified. now he knows that he has a story for his documentary… je must understand what happens in the town and make his documentary at the risk of his own life. Something like that?
