I would ignore dpg, he fairly repetitively asks the same questions, and expects the whole plot of a movie to condense down to under 50 words. The point of a logline is to hook the reader, you hook a reader by getting them to ask questions, which means being more vague rather than more specific. If IRead more

The point of a logline is to hook the reader, you hook a reader by getting them to ask questions, which means being more vague rather than more specific. If I can get the whole movie from 50 words or less, why would I go see the movie?
Not every movie has to have an antagonist, not every movie has external stakes.
If you look at this article -?http://www.scriptmag.com/features/write-logline?- then you’ll see the highest rated scripts on the Blacklist have very vague loglines that break most of the rules that dpg talks about.

If its a trilogy, you write the story for the first movie in the trilogy.
A Tv show simply the premise, who is our protagonist, his goal etc. don’t need to go into the episodic storylines unless your writing loglines for each of the episodes.
If a 2 hour movie with 3 episodes contained within then yeah that’s complicated but you’ve got to work out what’s the connecting strand, why is the old repair man telling these stories. What’s the point? What is the narrative through line?
