During a solo expedition through the Australian outback, a lonely female scientist befriends a mysterious traveller via her long-range UHF radio, but things turn sinister when he insists on meeting up in the middle of nowhere.
Might a lonely character risk their life to meet a stranger in the middle of nowhere, because they are "Needy"? That is , a character who's psychology is emotionally fragile; requiring constant attention and support - possibly clingy and dependent. I guess the false belief for a character like thisRead more
Might a lonely character risk their life to meet a stranger in the middle of nowhere, because they are “Needy”? That is , a character who’s psychology is emotionally fragile; requiring constant attention and support – possibly clingy and dependent. I guess the false belief for a character like this might be unhealthy levels of trust and a constant feeling? of being abandoned when others aren?t around.
If the inciting incident is “a solo expedition through the Aussie outback”, then I wonder how the logline might benefit from an explanation as to how a Needy/Clingy character got catapulted into a situation like this in the first place.? Maybe like Indiana Jones, who hates snakes, the motivational drive toward the Arc is so powerful, he would even enter a tomb full of them. What might be the “Maltese Falcon” like prize she hunts for in the outback? … Ha, maybe she is a snake scientist/biologist, plenty of them in the outback!

A guy who likes beer, football, and is overly confident is basically a stereotype – labelled as Alpha male. What might be the psychological dimension of such a character?
My experience of this (often Australian) stereotype is “Macho”! That is: aggressive pride in one?s manly qualities, including a belief in one?s right to dominate. Such traits include obsessively working out, Aggression, Bullying others, Domineering behaviors, Attending live sporting events or getting together with the guys to watch the game,
Participating in extreme sports, Getting into fights and arguments, Embracing danger as a way to prove oneself as manly …. you get the point.
Now, put a Macho character in a room with say a girl who is Nagging, or Cocky or Controlling or Whiny, and the setup may have the potential to be more explosive. Could you imagine a Nagging Vegan antagonist ! I’d love to watch that go down 😉
