I'm trying to write a script that ... the hero of the story dies (suicide) and one of the surviving characters is left to tell the story. It is sort of based on the death of Yukio Mishima.So, I'm doing my best to write a sympathetic character who is misguided, but he is the hero. The one who lives and tells the tale is the witness to everything and everything is told through his lens.
Because Americans done consider suicide to be an honorable act, my hero has a quick fall from grace in the end.
So in my logline, do I focus on the hero who dies for what he believes in, or do I focus on the boy who is intentionally spared so he can tell the story? Oh, both boys are teenagers.
I wasn't sure if this post went in Basics, Loglines or Screenwriting.
