Why Characters Do What They Do [Story Essentials]

- I've seen so many loglines for great movie ideas, that still failed to express the chain of dramatic causation. So I thought I'd do a video about why it's important to include THAT particular element.
But before I make my point in this video, you should realise that I'm talking about the DEVELOPMENT LOGLINE. This is the sentence that sells your concept to a producer, manager, agent, etc. We are NOT talking about how you tease the audience to watch the film or show episode, which I would call the MARKETING LOGLINE. For that, there is no template, as the audience has no method in assessing stories. Whatever works!
So, with that caveat, my logline format goes:
When [a Major Event happens], a [Main Character] must [perform the Main Action].
(In the video, I incorrectly say "pursue" the main Action, but you can substitute Action/Goal there so it makes sense.)
For more on this, including examples, check out:

Or follow the link in the video to the TH-cam playlist about loglines.
Enjoy the video!
Thank you to Mukul, Griffyn, and Felicia.

I wanted to ask two things one I have recently watched the movie Land Of Bad, and think it is incredible and I am studying it, however I am new to this and could really use some guidance I am following the beats process and 8 sequence you discuss would you mind making a video and breaking the beats down for us or even a live stream please 🙏🏾. Also are you still doing the immersion classes as well. I am a big fan of your channel and new screenwriter. Please help me 😊 Thank you 🙏🏾💕🤗 the movie stars Ricky Whittle and Liam Hemsworth.
