Section Five

Chapter 21
Using the Plot Sequence Report

-03-
 
Dramatica for Screenwriters by Armando Saldaña Mora

Let's suppose the first Signpost in our story is this:

OS Signpost 1 - Obtaining: "Computers get a conscience."

Not much, but enough to develop some solid events with the help of the Plot Sequence Report.

So we look for the PSR in the depths of the "Reports" tile, and we read:

"In act one, 'achieving or possessing something' (Obtaining) is explored in terms of Value, Confidence, Worry, and Worth."

What the heck does this mean?
