What stands in her way?
If there was an interview of julie and anchorman would have been asking her question then it will be like: So Miss Julie tell us about yourself, something personal or political or professional or something fascinating. And miss Julie will be all determined and serious and will be like: I want to buy my own house. (mature smile)
Done. Comedy? Plot? What next? Is she good enough to carry the whole interview? Is there any other character in line of interview whose presence can influence her actions?
Sometimes you can interview your story characters and plots asking any random question and if you are unable to answer it, you need more plot and more content. It is, infact, a good exercise before starting a whole story.
Have you thought through your basic story, if yes the above logline doesn’t reflect it. You can use the main challenge to your character to frame your logline.
Is this for a series or for a feature film?
Good for her (But where’s the but)
Thank you all- lots to think about. It would seem that I have been treating the logline for this dramedy TV show too simply. Whilst an error- I had it that way as my intention was to treat the material separate to the three-sentence synopsis (from what I have been reading, it’s suggested to keep the logline different to the synopsis).? Based on all the feedback (much thanks) I’ll create a new? two-sentence logline that includes a ‘but’ and I’ll expand upon my synopsis. to be a five-sentence paragraph. Cheers!
…okay. And?
