Post 2b: Ideas

There are two main reasons why we create and use loglines...

1. A Logline keeps you focused as you write
 - By writing down a short key sentence at the beginning while you write your script it should help keep you focused on the story when stray from the key events and aspects.

2. You need a log line to sell you screenplay
 - You need to be able to describe the plot in the Logline in a captivating way, that doesn't give to much away but entice audience's to want to watch the film.

I found this website extremely helpful about writing Loglines in general and giving me ideas on what to include:

Here is a small brainstorm of Logline ideas, as a starting point.

After creating numerous Log line's as shown in the image above, I learnt and realized that loglines don't have to include questions but they need to make the audience want to ask questions and want to know more about what the film or short film is about.
