What is the main character’s goal?
If his goal is to stay alive then he should just not jump off a cliff.
What is the dilemma here?
If he chooses to jump of cliffs then he chooses to put himself at risk, this is not a big problem rather a choice he makes between the allure of the experience and the associated danger.
Therefore I ask what is the main character’s goal?
I agree with Nir Shelter.? It sets up a situation for a possible plot but falls short of outlining one.? The physicist certainly wants to? stay alive — but to what end?? What objective goal does he settle on as a result discovering he can skydive off cliffs?? Half the stakes are there:? he’ll kill himself he fails — but what’s the upside?? What does he stand to gain by his skydiving besides an ephemeral thrill?? Ultimately, what’s the dramatic purpose and meaning?of his pursuit?
Hello,
I think your movie has an interesting and original main character, and the idea that a ‘theorician’ must take action is a good trick to build a plot: try to analyze “Man’s Favorite Sport?” where the main character is a professional fishing equipement clerk, very able to sell the equipement, but in reality he can’t fish – when his boss send him to a fishing contest with a beautiful girl… Here the goal and the stakes are quite clear keep the job, win the girl). I think that you should work on the motivation of your character and on the conflict that will fuel the plot.
