@Storygeeks: #1:A predicament is a problem or predicament
with an obvious and direct solution.n #scriptchat

@Storygeeks: #2 A predicament does not reveal character; it
mainly tests problem-solving skills. #scriptchat

@Storygeeks: 3. A predicament has no subplots, twists, or
complications.n #scriptchat

personally. Like compare RED or The Losers to The Expendables. Same genre but
big difference! #scriptchat
May 20, 2012, 7:17 pm
@TaroJ: What is story? I always used to think story was what
happened. Now I think it's more how it changes the people it happens to

@Storygeeks: The permise line should not just capture the
high concept of your story #scriptchat

@Storygeeks: It has to give you the essence of your story's
entire structure: #scriptchat

clear ending... all in one sentence #scriptchat

many people think they are #scriptchat

@Storygeeks: the premise is your entire story's structure in
one sentence... this is why it is powerful...not just a pitch tool...
#scriptchat

@TaroJ: Could you give as an example premise and log line
for a feature? #scriptchat
