I'm working on a student film proposal. I am stumped on what they mean when they ask "what is the dramatic focus of the story?" Hopefully someone can shed some light on the matter. Thanks!
Did you try googling the term? That should always be you first resort. It's faster, and potentially more comprehensive.
they may simply want a logline... in syd field's 'workbook' he refers to the film's 'dramatic need' which also comes down to what you would put in the logline... it's basically what the mc's goal is... i mentor many aspiring screenwriters, so if you need any quick help along the way, you can drop me an email anytime... love and hugs, maia
I did try googling it, but not much came up besides making me more confused. Thanks for the offer mammamaia! I may take it up sometime.
