>>How much of the plot can a logline expose?
It’s recommended to include:
Role, Goal and Inciting Incident
I don’t think it gives away the whole plot
Two of the veterans here loglined Shawshank Redemption as:
See less“When a reserved accountant is wrongly given a life sentence for his wife?s murder, he must fight a corrupt prison system to stay alive while plotting his escape”
&
“A man not meant for prison must endure a corrupt warden and violent inmates as he works for years on a secret tunnel, making sure his friend will find him but not the authorities”
.
based on A and B stories respectively
.
.
The point being, their superb loglines make you wanna see the film without revealing how it ends.

It is an Inciting Incident (and weak at that)
>>how far he is willing to go to protect his family
sounds cool but doesn’t work for logline purposes
(so be ready to “kill your darlings” for the greater good)
The premise is clear though
“a disbeliever learns of the existence of paranormal”
Beyond that, I am waiting for the cavalry 😛
