Arthur survives a werewolf attack. With no clue or cure and a new moon rising, the hunter on his tail has all the answers.

Andrew- the age is irrelevant, unless, of course, it’s relevant. Same with names.

The protag is wildlife enthusiast. How would you describe him, character-wise? Lonely, blind, gay, obsessive-compulsive?

The antag is the hunter. We have no further info on this person/thing.

Goal- Cure his lycanthropy? He had another goal before he was bitten; what was it? If you use irony, it could be to save the grey wolves from extinction or something along those lines.

Stakes- Dying, staying a werewolf…

Inner conflict- wants to save wolves, now has become one?

Outer conflcit- running from “hunter”

Hook- the hunter becomes the hunted?

Genre- horror

Once you answer all of these elements, the logline almost writes itself. Then, by rearranging or replacing words with more colorful, useful descriptive and action words, you should reduce the larger phrases to one or two word phrases, and get the logline to under thirty words- 25 if possible. For example:

“A game warden battling illegal poachers, contracts the werewolf virus, and must now protect the dwindling wolf population, including himself, from a sadistic pelt smuggler.”

(Probably not your story, but…)

Protag- game warden
Antag- sadistic pelt smuggler
Goal- protect himself, protect dwindling wolf population, catch poachers
Inner Conflict- has become a werewolf
Outer Conflict- battles poachers and sadistic pelt smuggler
Irony- once protector of wolves, has now become one.
Hook- werewolf game warden
Genre- horror
