An introverted young actor goes looking for love anywhere he can think of, except himself.
The objective goal is vague. And as the dramatic subject is hardly unique. ?There are 10,001 scripts written every year about someone who is looking for love. ?What makes this one different from the other 10,000 scripts?A logline needs to specific, about the protagonist's pursuit of a specific persoRead more
The objective goal is vague. And as the dramatic subject is hardly unique. ?There are 10,001 scripts written every year about someone who is looking for love. ?What makes this one different from the other 10,000 scripts?
A logline needs to specific, about the protagonist’s pursuit of a specific person and about a specific external, objective obstacle that stands in his way. ? Like ?Romeo & Juliet; ?they are star-crossed lovers because of an insurmountable obstacle that stands between them and living happily ever after, their feuding families.
And introversion is an internal subjective issue. ?Because film is a visual medium, loglines are of necessity about external, objective issues — people, places, objects, action, ?events that can be visualized. ? (What’s the visual on introversion?)

IOW: the government covers up the problem by having those who hear voices diagnosed as suffering from schizophrenia; the classic symptom is that sufferers hear voices.
The technicall problem is that the disorder kicks in in late teens or early 20’s at the latest. ?Which is another reason why I ?think it would work better if the protagonist was the cop’s teenage son. ?That would apply a veneer of medical credibility to the concept ?And it would target the film to a more desirable (translation: lucrative) demographic, ?the teenage-young adult viewing market.
Just saying.

Beg to disagree. ?”Get discovered” — and then what? ?It’s an inconclusive statement because it doesn’t speciy the consequences, ?the jeopardy entailed in being discovered. What are the stakes ?of getting discovered?
The highest possible stakes are losing their lives, being killed. ?Even if it’s a comedy, ?the protagonists should always be struggling for the highest possible stakes.
fwiw
