Trying to be Coy - Screenwriting

Fuck being mysterious.  You've got to show what you intend.  Put it right in their face.

"In a movie, I don’t know. If you do it merely “suggestively,” it’s a cop-out."

This goes again with the idea that whatever your logline is about must be in that first scene.

It's about this character dealing with this obstacle trying to get this want.

All of that should be in the first scene.   Don't hold back for the "inciting incident"  or the "second act plot point"

Don't hold anything back.  let the want and obstacle start right off the bat and let it play itself out.

Don't try to be a magician.  It's a rare thing to need a prologue as in the Sixth Sense.

And even that element didnt come about until the fifth draft.
