- Example: Genre: Sci-Fi
- Logline: A concise one-sentence summary of the script’s central conflict and protagonist.
- Example: Logline: A lone astronaut discovers a sentient alien artifact that offers humanity a path to interstellar travel, but at a devastating cost.
- Protagonist: A brief description of the main character, including their core motivation and a key flaw.
- Example: Protagonist: Dr. Aris Thorne, a brilliant but reclusive astrophysicist driven by the loss of his family, whose skepticism blinds him to the artifact’s true potential.
- Antagonist/Conflict: The primary obstacle or opposing force the protagonist faces.
- Example: Antagonist/Conflict: The ‘Echo’, a collective alien consciousness that manipulates perception and exploits vulnerabilities to assimilate new species.
- Setting: The time and place where the story unfolds.
- Example: Setting: A derelict deep-space research station orbiting a dying star, 200 years in the future.
- Key Plot Points (Optional, provide 3-5): Crucial events that drive the narrative forward.
- Example: Key Plot Points: 1. Discovery of the artifact. 2. First communication and initial promise. 3. The ‘Echo’ begins subtly influencing the crew. 4. Aris confronts the true nature of the ‘Echo’. 5. A difficult choice must be made to save humanity or himself.
- Themes: Underlying messages or ideas explored in the script.
- Example: Themes: The nature of consciousness, the price of progress, isolation versus connection.
- Desired Tone of the Script: (e.g., Tense, Humorous, Melancholic, Hopeful, Gritty)
- Example: Desired Tone of the Script: Tense and philosophical.
