  • Writing a logline is a vital part of the screenwriting process and one of the most effective ways of selling your script. A logline is the essence of your screenplay (character, want, and obstacle) written in a clear, concise and creative way - ideally between 20 - 30 words.
    In this example, we use the Oscar award winning film, Argo.

    What about a movie like The Conjuring? Should the logline follow the Warrens or the family who are being attacked and have more to lose?

    But what if the main character is not interesting. For example, Rocky wasn't interesting. He was slog.

      Rocky (1976) is "A small-time Philadelphia boxer gets a supremely rare chance to fight the world heavyweight champion in a bout in which he strives to go the distance for his self-respect."
