Just wanted to warn anyone new to the craft that the link for 'ACTUAL LOGLINES' should be read with a grain of salt (in my humble opinion). Don't get me wrong, some of them are pretty fantastic, but others are, well... vague. My guess is that these less than stellar examples may not be the actual loglines used to hook potential buyers, or the writer/writers had some kind of pitch meeting where they could really sell their story.
ReplyDeleteThat being said, this is an excellent collection of knowledge. I really like 'Movie Loglines Don’t Tease. They Tell.'
