What doesn’t interest movie makers in a logline are morals of the story, life?lessons the protagonist ?needs to learn. ?The hard way, of course, that goes without saing — so don’t bother saying it. Leave that for the script.

"Mystical" strikes me as kind of, well, "misty" -- vague. ?The term can cover a broad range of super-sized skills and powers. ?Given that there is a glut of super-sized characters in films of this genre, what makes this crew stand out? ?Is ?there one super-sized skill or power in particular that uniRead more
“Mystical” strikes me as kind of, well, “misty” — vague. ?The term can cover a broad range of super-sized skills and powers. ?
Given that there is a glut of super-sized characters in films of this genre, what makes this crew stand out? ?Is ?there one super-sized skill or power in particular that unique defines the culprit, hence the nature of the threat, the challenge the protagonist faces?
What’s at stake if the protagonist fails to capture them. ?Not just in terms of her own career: ?surely, the bad gal and guys are not just going to lie low, sips mai tai’s while watching the sun set on a Caribbean beach.

Could you be more specific about the inciting incident? ?What exactly happens that makes her realize she will be an empty nester sooner than she had expected.

Could you be more specific about the inciting incident? ?What exactly happens that makes her realize she will be an empty nester sooner than she had expected.
And ?could you also be more specific about what “save their last few months together” means in terms of dramatic action? ?IOW: ?how does that translate into a specific objective goal? ?In following her daughter to the beach what does she hope to accomplish? ?Talk her daughter out of leaving the nest so soon? ?Or…?
Finally, loglines focus on ?an objective goal, not ?on ?a subjective need (even though the script ?deals with a subjective issue). ?Loglines are concerned about the primary dramatic problem created by the inciting incident, not about the dramatic solution. ?Certainly not a dramatic solution arising out of subjective change or personal epiphany.
Consequently, a logline ?is not about and should never refer to ?”lessons learned”. ?Save the “lesson learned” for the script.
