Rosie-Mae's A2 Media Coursework 2014: Post 2b: Ideas

•A log line is a short one sentence summary of the film which tells you a brief outline of what the film will be

about.

•They are important as they allow people to know what the film is about before going to see it and if they will

enjoy it or not

There are two main reasons why you need a logline in a film:

1. A logline keeps you focused as you write.

Having a short logline will keep you on track with your script writing and keep you focused on the important

events that happen.

•2. You need a logline to sell your screenplay

A logline is important in reaching out to an audience. If your logline sounds exciting and interesting but still not

giving away too much information it is then more likely for an audience to want to go and watch your film.

I decided to brainstorm my own ideas regarding loglines. I looked at the characters, problem and the

soloution. I also researched the loglines of different popular films.
