When the public ignores evidence of violent rape by a demagogic president, a reporter convinces MIT nanobot engineers to help her surveil him, certain that airing his private moments will destroy him, but also naive to the many dangers of the plan.
Once again, I gotta say I think truth is stranger than fiction. ?Current reality eclipses fiction.What's difference will the surveillance make? ?A problem with the premises is that if the public ignored the rape and elected him anyway, won't they continue to ignore anything new she uncovers? ?Of couRead more

Of course, it you want to make a savage parody then how about ?she captures POTUS in flangrante delicto and the expose backfires: the becomes a viral porn video that makes him even more popular. 🙁

FWIW:
I recently heard an interview of Francis Ford Copolla about his struggle to write a script adapting the best-selling novel, “The Godfather” which has a sprawling narrative. ?He says he only got a handle on the plot when he was able to boil down the answer to ?the question , “What is the film about?” to one word.
The one word answer?for him was: “succession.”
And the result was a classic.
Best wishes with your writing.

I like to see an inciting incident because it gives me a clue as to whether the writer really understands plotting. ? A common malady I detect in many loglines posted here is that the inciting incident does not seem to really set up the action of the plot. ? The loglines lack a true cause-and-effect relationship between the inciting incident and the resulting action and objective goal.
I often end up composing two loglines for each story: one is for my own internal use, to engineer the plot. ?It includes all the necessary elements: ?inciting incident, resulting action, objective goal, stakes, character vulnerability. ? Working out the details of that version is of immeasurable value in clarifying what my story is really about and what is really motivating my protagonist.

The other is the one I use to sell the script. It focuses on the hook. ?Like the logline I’m using to promote my current work in progress. ?It doesn’t have the real inciting incident, but I think it’s the sizzle that sells the steak.
