Don’t have your logline assume that being a musician is the “most difficult” thing to accomplish. She can always work in the music industry and be a musician, just not on the level as say Beyonce or someone famous — add famous into the logline — that may help.
Let’s say you add in that she is a sharecropper and is also DEAF — now, you’ve staked up the obstacle with a simple disability.
A deaf woman runs away from…. to become a musician.
Now, everything we need to know about this task of hers is front and center. How can she overcome those immense odds?
A powerfully motivating event would strengthen the story.
Is there something that happened to the girl that motivated her to leave?
Hollyweird has a fondness for rags-to-riches, farm-to-fame stories, but as Richiev noted, so many have already been done that in order to get attention this logline needs to ?pitch a story that has a new angle, a ?unique twist. ?A plus factor would be if it’s a biopic.
Please, more story detail.
This is still just set-up, the story would be what she must do to become a musician (Soul Singer)
Also, because there are many stories about a small town girl heading to the city to make it big…
you need to add the element in your script that sets apart your story from the rest.
