Designing the villains plan:
What I learned was that this start to the villains plan outlines what I have to do to make this (hopefully) compelling.
What is the end goal?
Ruin TV Super- Preacher Brent Martin’s idyllic family life.
How can the Villain accomplish that in a devious way?
Discredit him in the media and alter public opinion. Lure him back into his addictions.
How can they cover it up?
1.Seduce Brent, film it and put it on the news.
2.Change her name so Brent doesn’t know who he’s dealing with.
3.Seduce Brent’s wife so she wants to leave him
4.Befriend Brent’s daughter so she resents her father.
5.Blackmail Brent’s major backer so the deal with Brent collapses.
6. Sent up Brent’s wife to make it look like she’s having an affair on Brent.
7.Kill the reporter and make it look like Brent did it.
8.Push Brent over the edge to where he kills, and then wants to kill himself.
Sequence it to make it as intriguing as possible. (As above)
