The Feature Film Logline

What the feature film logline is and how to write an effective one

The Form

The feature film logline -- the one or two sentence description of the feature film that communicates the premise, the protagonist, the central conflict, and the specific emotional and thematic hook that distinguishes the film from every other film -- is the specific writing form that determines whether the feature script gets read and whether the feature pitch gets the meeting.

The Requirements

The requirements of an effective logline: the specific protagonist whose specific goal is in specific conflict with a specific opposing force, described in the specific language that communicates the genre, the tone, and the specific hook that makes the story compelling in the format that the logline requires. The logline that accomplishes all of this in twenty-five words or fewer is the logline that works.
