    But that doesn't mean people didn't commit suicide in the middle ages.. She loved him too hard and he told right in her face he didn't love her at all. That's what she couldn't bear and jumped out of the window. But if I want to make a film of it, not a serie, what should I do? Whatt should I changeRead more

    dpg, thank you for your reaction! Well, The questions you've asked are going to be answered in the script. She will be legitimized for no political reason, but because the Duke really loved her mother who died giving birth. He wants to keep her close to him, but also because he has promised her mothRead more

    Well, The questions you’ve asked are going to be answered in the script. She will be legitimized for no political reason, but because the Duke really loved her mother who died giving birth. He wants to keep her close to him, but also because he has promised her mother he’ll do it.

    In the script there are many turning points, that’s why it’s difficult for me to summarize it in one sentence. When she’s a maid, her goal is to be with Duke of Devon, but he’s married. Because of that their love has to be secret. Unfortunately his wife, which really loves him too, finds out everything. She commits suicide. Tad??, first obstacle is gone. But the maid still can’t marry the Duke and at last she even doesn’t want to because despite his love for her, he cheates on her. She can’t forgive him. When Duke of Norfolk accidentally discovers his daughter (thanks to a necklace) he legitimizes her because that’s what he has promised her mother. The maid, still angry with the Duke of Devon, leaves with her new father and tries to forget her love. But her father’s family hates her (they still consider her as a bastard).

    By this time Duke of Devonshire is married again and has a baby.
    In short: in the end it will turn out he kills his wife to marry the maid. (because he can’t devorce her)
    A bit cruel, but ok… xP

    Maybe this concept is more a serie than a film?

    This is the first time I’m writing a script and I hope you can help me 🙂

    Or maybe even shorter: "A maid and illegitimate daughter of a Duke starts a love affair with Duke of Devon. After being legitimized she'll do whatever and whoever it takes to be a powerful Duchess." In a logline you don't need to give away the ending, right?
