- Most stories need a MacGuffin. This is a device, event, or object that’s unimportant by itself — but is necessary to move the plot along and motivate the characters.
- The main villain should be introduced via their work. Sometimes called an inciting crime, this element or scene in a thriller should have a clear victim.
- A point of no return for the protagonist is crucial. There must be a moment when the audience realizes, along with the protagonist, that things can’t go back to the way they used to be in the story.
- The protagonist will fail at first. Once they’re aware of the antagonist’s doings, they will seek to outmaneuver the latter. Maybe the conflict is legal, moral, or even supernatural and the protagonist needs to learn new ideas and skills to combat the antagonist.
