I did jot know where to post this question so I wrote it here. My question was: Is writing a logline same for a short film, feature film and Documentary. Very rudimentary question but I was curious.
Very good question. ?And I beg to differ somewhat from Moses99. The short answer is that the same logline format for a feature film usually applies for short films , as well as TV or SM (streaming media) series. ?In the case of a series, the logline usually focuses on the plot of the pilot episode tRead more

The purpose of a ?logline is to promote a?script?for a work of fiction? Documentaries, non-fictional stories, ?are a different species. ?AFAIK, they are pitched in terms of the subject matter, not a script because there is no script. ?(Although there may be an outline.) ?A documentary story is fully discovered and composed as the video is shot and edited.

Dkpough1’s revision is certainly an improvement. ?However if it’s ?an accident, why the search for a culprit? ?So I would suggest ?word accident in quotes to suggest that things are not as they seem. ?It’s more than an accident it’s, ?a mysterious “accident”.
Also it’s not exactly accurate to say that they all suspect each other. ?Obviously at least one of them knows who dunnit–the actual murderer. ?So the story is a murder mystery where from the audience’s perspective, everyone is a suspect. ?It seems to me the logline — and story — ?would benefit from a protagonist, a first among equals, who takes the lead in asking the questions, discovering evidence.
