    Agreed with all the above comments. I'll add that the wording in the logline is confusing - the chain of events is vague. As you mention two families in the one sentence, it's not immediately clear which is which. Secondly, the use of so many adjectives reduces their individual values. Often when thRead more

    As you mention two families in the one sentence, it’s not immediately clear which is which. Secondly, the use of so many adjectives reduces their individual values. Often when the premise isn’t generating enough conflict or high enough stakes, the writer uses adjectives as a means to boost the impact of the individual components. And this logline has that very same problem.

    Hi Xuwboss,

    Check out the ‘Formula’ tab on the top bar to learn some logline basics.

    Getting bullied for being gay has been done successfully in the past, Oscar-winning films on the subject have been celebrated extensively in the last decade. You would need to add to your concept if you want it to stand out.

    If it was based on a true story you could use that as leverage, otherwise, you could try setting it in a place where there is a harsh anti LGBT tendency. Now day and age, in most Western countries, it seems a little hard to believe that someone would be bullied for being gay and nobody does anything about it.

    Concept aside, a story needs a plot and plots are made of events and actions. “…contemplates suicide…” is not an action it’s a thought, what else can your main character do in response to the bullying?
