The plot tells the
story of the film. The same story can be told through
many different plots. The plot is action, a series of events,
taking us from the beginning of the film through the middle
to the end.
The scriptwriter must keep the plot in his mind all along. Each
sentence should forward the plot. It is recommended to grasp
the plot as soon as possible, already at the
start-up sequence. You can scatter descriptions of the
setting and go deeper into the
characters along the way.
The plot should not be too easily guessed. The viewer is pleased
when the film presents a surprise. One limiting factor is
worth remembering: the inner logic of the story, created by
genre, setting and characters. The events cannot turn into
something not fitting to the inner logic of the film.
You can search for plots in The Internet Movie Database. Try [www.imdb.org]
