The term actually comes from a literal “log†kept by studios about movies in production. Maybe you remember them best from your TV Guide (or DVR now…), the one-sentence summary of the story. It must be concise and still carry what’s exciting about this movie to the reader’s mind, all in a line or two.
In this volume Chris Soth covers how to design your logline for maximum impact so that it captures the essence of your unique idea and excites your audience, as well as discussing the uses of loglines in pitching and querying.
