For 10 years this man has been having accurate visions of events seven days into the future. Last night he saw his own murder at the hands of a woman he doesn’t know.

>>But traditionally act 1 finishes when the MC knows or thinks they know what the solution to the problem is page 25-30ish

Hmm. I have a minority opinion on that point. Whatever.

Be that as it may, I think you have a viable and potentially compelling story, CraigDGriffiths, and I Iook forward to viewing it at my local silver screen or on my streaming video service. Best wishes.

Haven't watched Minority Report in years but from memory the vision was the inciting incident an event that forced the MC to take action (and run...) sparking off act 2.

But traditionally act 1 finishes when the MC knows or thinks they know what the solution to the problem is page 25-30ish. With the inciting incident occurring between pages 15 and 25. Giving back story, opening image and thematic declarations pages 1 to 15 on average.

None of this is set in stone of course and there are many examples of films that deviated form this. But best to try and stick to a structure that is known to work especially early on in ones career.

Point I'm making is there is less room in a logline for backstory and opening image than inciting incident, goal and other mission critical info for the logline to work well.
