I mixed two loglines I’ve had before and wrote the one below. What do you think? Thanks for your feedback and help so far! It helped me a lot! – “When an agoraphobe student from New York City falls for a pop star, he must overcome his fear in public or lose her forever.”

Reading through the multitude of questions DPG is asking, it makes me question the concept altogether – the premise raises too many logic flaws and questions.
The premise comes across as a heavily contrived attempt to force together an odd couple, rather than let the odd couple come together as a result of the premise. For example, if they are both students at the same school, then the logic of them connecting inherently exists in the premise and requires little explanation. However, as it is now, she is a famous singer and he is a student – they are worlds apart from each other…
Continuing from the previous point made, if they are both students at the same school, he could be taking classes via Skype (as a result of his agoraphobia). She could find his mysterious nature intriguing, which prompts her to make first contact outside of class.? This doesn’t have to be in the logline, but could give you a clearer understanding of the mechanics behind the premise.
Ultimately, what’s important in romcoms is the force that keeps the lovers apart. In this instance it’s his condition, therefore, best you think of a good set of actions for him to take that will help him get over it. In the last draft you wrote “…he must overcome his fear in public…” but what does this actually mean? What does he do, specifically, to overcome his fear? Remember also that his fear is an internal thing, the camera can’t show him suddenly not being afraid.? Therefore, best to come up with a good external manifestation of his triumph.

The last draft of the logline presents a disjointed plot. How does the return of her father motivate her to do anything much less reconstruct a house? The cause and effect is unclear.
Furthermore, the stakes and obstacles are unclear, what’s stopping her reconstruct the house? And what is at stake with her family?? Maintaining the relationships between all the members of the family is not enough for a film. Think of it this way – if she manages to maintain the balance between family and lover (ghost or not) nothing much changes by the end of the film, if she doesn’t she either loses the lover or the family – not nice but no biggie. Best to come up with a goal for her to achieve which puts her at a better position at the end of the film than the start.

Agreed with Craig, this lacks too many details for the plot to be clear. It also is too long and includes many redundant descriptions. I suggest starting from scratch by answering the following question; what does the boy want and why? Include in the logline only the answer to this question.
