Learn how to effectively write loglines in this quick video.

If you are a screenwriter than a logline can make or break you chances of getting your script picked-up. A log line is a brief 1-2 sentence synopsis that gives the major details of your story’s plot with an emotion hook to drive interest. This can be a very useful tool if you’re looking for a crew or financing. The unfortunate reality is producers might not read your script if the logline isn’t solid, so mastering the logline is extremely important.
