key points outline

blog question: What are three key points this presenter makes about writing an outline for a short film? Please explain each in detail. What do you find useful about this approach to writing an outline?

Three key points would be: a set up, attack, and resolution. The set up is all about where the film is being taken place; the main location, the time (ex. 1988 or 2056). Attack, the attack is the when the peak takes place. for example if you're doing a horror movie on a killer cashing a victim, the victim may try to fight the killer here. Resolution, this is when the movie ties down. Often times a twist would be good to put in right here. I found this to be very useful, because it gets all the major points out still keeping it vague and intriguing so it's not bombarded with information.
