I have to let this new info sink in, all I know is: keep the dog and get rid of the mask, we’ve seen it all before and you don’t need it!!! Hanibal Lecter with a mask would (a) be less scary; (b) would completely loose character.

“So basically I tried to distinguish the logline from the synopsis. I feel that the logline does not have to give you all elements of the story, that is rather the task of the synopsis.”

Only — don’t give away the end of the story (if not absolutely necessary).

What I learned from books about screenwriting – Save the Cat and internet sites/forums simplyscripts.com, logline.it – is that if you’re with a group of friends wondering what movie to go to on a Friday night, you can only convince them they must pick the movie ‘you’ like by paint a picture IN ONE SHORT SENTENCE (logline). Especially these days, when the youth attention span is less than 10 seconds.
