Two questions
Hi. I've tried to put together a logline for a script I've written.
(A logline is a brief, usually one-sentence, summary of a television program, film, or book that states the central conflict of the story.)
Logline:
After catching his boss making advances toward his date during a party at work, an ordinary office worker makes a scandalous scene that gets him fired promptly. But soon his evening is about to get even worse when he gets caught up in a shootout between two rival gangs.
- Is 'promptly' correct here if I want it to mean something like 'on the spot' or 'empathically'? Would you prefer another word instead?
- Which of these do you prefer:
(1) But soon his evening is about to get even worse when...
(2) But his evening is about to get even worse when...
(3) But soon his evening gets even worse when...
(4) But soon his evening will get even worse when...
