Plotential

A highly desirable script or book concept because of the strength of both the plot and characters, and a rare Writer's unique presentation of the story.

Not many writing works have true 'plotential' since they do not add elements that dramatically build on familiar story mechanics yet are still unpredictable and/or unique.
That new independant film has 'plotential', I am so tired of all the predictable remakes of my parent's movies.

We just found a 'plotential' writer, we optioned a three script deal.

As your editor, I believe these changes will give the script more 'plotential', your writing was pretty bland and formulaic.

idiot plot

In literary criticism, idiot plot refers to "a plot which is kept in motion solely by virtue of the fact that everybody involved is an idiot,"otherwise "they'd immediately figure out everything and the movie would be over."It is a narrative where its conflict comes from characters not recognizing, or not being told, key information that would resolve the conflict, often because of plot contrivance. The only thing that prevents the conflict's resolution is the character's constant avoidance or obliviousness of it throughout the plot, even if it was already obvious to the viewer, so the characters are all "idiots" in that they are too obtuse to simply resolve the conflict immediately.
