Sequence Method Question

March 21, 2006 · by Burley Grymz · Permalink · comment on this post in the forum · Category: Original Version, technique

Should each plot thread have its own Point of no return? I'm dissecting a movie right now, and I think I've identified five potential PONR, but each have different impact on the primary story (which is muddy to begin with, and cross pollinated with other issues). Any feedback on this? Should the PONR focus on the primary story line, or should each have its own?

And, if it does, should each also have its own predicament and main tension? How microscopic should one get with these things.
