Austin Kleon said “an idea is gold only if you name it.” I think he understood that ideas are a dime a dozen. And that the value is not in the idea itself but in the execution. And a BIG part of the execution starts with the tip of the spear, the name you give it.  Sign up for my weekly newsletter at RichInstinct.com

Animation Appreciation, Have Loglines Changed? Deaf Actor & ASL on "The Simpsons"

     Movies with the best Loglines & Taglines help hook the viewer and make them want to watch.

A logline is a foot in the door, but many writers ignore them. Mark & Tom lay-out why a logline should be a top priority. Mark & Tom look forward to having John Lehr as a guest again on the next podcast. Mark shares a "Blair Witch" scenario he and his wife encountered when recently visiting a park where they used to go on dates together when they were kids. It did not go swimmingly. Also, listener messages from the Make My Damn Movie website, The Movie Quotes Game, Staff Picks and other stuff as well...

Justin and Paul chat about Loglines, Film School, and Opportunities. Enjoy! P.S. This was a script we recorded a while back and was in the can. So hopefully it's not too dated!

In today's Books with Hooks segment, Carly and CeCe discuss quiet plots; using the #MeToo hashtag; deciding what kind of author you want to be; plausibility in fiction; the 'looking back' vibe; and how comps intersect and are in conversation with one another. After which, Bianca chats with Mary Kole, founder and executive editor at Good Story Company, about pitches, loglines and queries; the premise of a story; and the meat of a query. 

Micah Haley, producer, screenwriter, and Director of Development at Intercut Capital, comes by to discuss how movies get funded, what genres interest him, and I ask him a LOT of questions about one of my favorite Christmas movies, Santa Jaws.

Loglines are the proverbial knock at the front door, so they must be spot on. Mark & Tom pontificate on the subject. Also, Camie Mosley drops by on The Writer's Roundup, listener messages, The Movie Quotes Game , Staff Picks and other things...

The future of work will resemble today's most coveted theme parks. You won't go to work every day, but you will be transported through an immersive employee experience. Leaders will immerse their teams in story. HR departments will be the designers of immersive employee experience. Companies will gather for events and meetings in a much more engaging way.Barry Winkless' team spent the last nine months researching The Future of Work. Barry’s team at CPL's Future of Work Institute used this research to question, explore and design future work solutions. Along the way, they discovered some amazing insights to help us peek into the foreseeable future.The Future of Work and the Theme Park ParallelIn the White Paper referenced above, a Theme Park analogy is used to visually describe findings. Inside this theme part, the researchers describe a 3W Model outlining key components of the future of work: Workplace, Workforce, and Work Task.The theme was chosen because work will focus on engaging experiences, unique events, and attention to detail, much like DisneyLand. This will be true not only for your customers’ experience, but also for your employees’ experience.The Future of Work Involves Three Main Elements1. Knowing Why Meetings Are Being HeldLeaders and companies will be more intentional about when employees will gather for in-person or virtual events and meetings.COVID has accelerated this on the virtual level at a much faster pace than what had originally been predicted. Leaders of the future will create the right meetings for the right purpose.2. Purposeful Design of Meetings & EventsBoth virtual and in person events and meetings will live up to a new level of expectations with purposeful design. These designs will be held at a higher standard and created with deeper intentions than what we see today.3. Using a StoryTelling Approach to ConnectStorytelling is the key to create emotional impact at the core business level to create change. It’s a gel; a connector; it’s a light; it illuminates a direction that hasn’t fully formed yet; it’s a motivator. If a leader needs to tell people about a strategy, they should immerse their team in a story about the strategy. The skill of storytelling is what leaders will use to enroll their employees as they move through their experience as an employee.Leaders need to understand the structure of stories and know how to tell an interesting story. Leaders also need to role model good storytelling in order to create future story tellers. They need to tell stories that get across the essence of who they are in an authentic way.Companies need to recognize that they are the product that’s being sold to employees, and they need to use the power of stories to connect with their employees. To do that, leaders can take cues from the film industry. The film industry uses tools like LogLines and Show Bibles to share their stories. Companies that are going to succeed in the future will have a purpose plus a story.LogLineOne line that quickly gets across the concept of a TV Series. Leaders need to know the LogLine of their business. Start with the LogLine, then do the show bible. ShowBibleA tool TV executives use to pitch the idea behind the TV Series. Show Bibles describe a LogLine, character breakdowns, an overview of the first season, summaries of each episode, and future season summaries. Leaders should focus on the future they want to cr

5 movies, 5 Bad Loglines, and drafting a heist team. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

How can I develop my plot before writing the screenplay? Stu and Chas are joined by fan-favourite, Stephen Cleary, to NOT look at what makes great screenplays work -- but what makes great  "short documents" work.  We draw on Stephen Cleary's wealth of experience in developing work with writers, as a producer, as a script editor and as a former head of development. This recording turned especially epic and so we have divided it into three parts that can be listened to in any order. Part I explores the short documents and tools you can use to develop your story’s PLOT before going to script, including the Premise, the Logline, various synopses, character documents, and - of course - the dreaded Treatment… But also looks at development tools that aren’t written like: script reads, mini-shoots and animatics. Stay tuned for Part II which delves into documents that develop your story’s theme and then Part III where we look at how to write short documents differently when your objective isn’t story development but rather selling your idea/project. RUNNING ORDER 00:00:00 - Intro  00:13:32 - The writing gym  00:19:32 - Animatics & Script Readings  00:28:08 - Telling your story out loud  00:31:07 - Why Treatments suck  00:36:49 - The Premise  00:44:43 - Exploring WRITTEN short docs  01:04:29 - What about non-hero's journey?  01:14:36 - Using short docs to keep going  01:21:04 - Back to the Premise  01:24:37 - Moving from Premise to Logline  01:25:33 - Stay tuned for Part 2!  Many thanks to all our patrons but particularly to Theis, Jack, Chris, Khrob, Sandra, and Matteo.

Episode Notes"A recovering alcoholic wants to get clean but has to become a bartender to in order to support his sick dying mother"Like the above example, give the protagonist a task they must do to attain their goal that GOES AGAINST THEIR NATURE. This is the best way to communicate conflict in the least amount of words.Why this strategy works is because we immediately experience the CONFLICT that the screenplay is about and that's what gets us intrigued enough TO ACTUALLY READ THE SCREENPLAY.Which is THE ENTIRE POINT OF A LOGLINE.I've noticed everyone's obsessed with loglines. Loglines are like worrying about the logo for your company before actually creating anything that works. But if you're ready to create one, consider the following strategy: Write down a 1) character, 2) Their social role/relationship, 3) their want, 4) Their Task.Describe the character emotionally. (lonely, violent, shy)Character's primary social role or relationship (ex-cop, gamer, son)Goal in line with their emotional natureTask that goes exact opposite to their natureWhen my writing teacher taught me this it completely changed how I looked at loglines. Hopefully this is as valuable to you as it has been to me.Here's the original post: https://www.reddit.com/r/Screenwriting/comments/bnidts/how_to_create_a_logline_on_steroids_that_hooks/

Today we talk about loglines. What they are and how important they are.

L is in the mire when it comes to pitching. She schools Shelly on the wonderful world of pitching using loglines, blurbs, and comp titles. Then the show dissolves into nonsense and we're not sorry. 

Loglines   What is a longline? “A one or two sentence encapsulation of your story. It highlights character conflict and those aspects of your piece that make it unique.”   I was so thrown by this concept when I started! How the hell was I supposed to funnel my 120 page screenplay into two sentences? And it’s something I still struggle with today.   Loglines have to answer certain questions “What’s the hook?” “Does it have audience appeal?”   Remember;  Concept is your greatest ally.   Some other things to ask yourself as you are writing the logline: What is the crux of your film? Is the concept clear and easily understood? Does it suggest the largest conflict in the film? Does it suggest your cast of characters? What’s unique? What may be familiar to your audience? What is easily marketable about your film? What is the dynamic action of your film?   Sometimes it helps to think of it as a one line premise.    What has worked with me now is trying to write the logllne first and it’s a very, very short outline. Your main character is there, the conflict and what makes it unique.   Some Logline examples: And I just stole these online. But it’s important to show how easy it can be sometimes. Once we hear these loglines, it’s like, why the hell didn’t I think of that. It is also something that can help producers sell your movie. Get that elevator pitch down. How will you sell your script without pulling out your 2 page synopsis? Create an amazing longline!    Good ones:   "A young F.B.I. cadet must confide in an incarcerated and manipulative killer to receive his help on catching another serial killer who skins his victims.” SILENCE OF THE LAMBS   "Two imprisoned men bond over a number of years, finding solace and eventual redemption through acts of common decency.” THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION   "Lester Burnham, a depressed suburban father in a mid-life crisis, decides to turn his hectic life around after becoming infatuated with his daughter's attractive friend.” AMERICAN BEAUTY (This one adds the actual name. This is a personal preference. But it does take up space in those two sentences. It is just as impactful to start right off with “A Depressed suburban father…”)   "An insomniac office worker and a devil-may-care soapmaker form an underground fight club that evolves into something much, much more.” FIGHT CLUB   "A high school chemistry teacher diagnosed with inoperable lung cancer turns to manufacturing and selling methamphetamine in order to secure his family's future.” BREAKING BAD   Now some example of bad ones:   GRADUATE  - A college graduate, home for the summer, has an affair with the wife of his father’s business partner, then falls in love with her daughter.    DENNIS THE MENACE  – Comic strip moppet plays pranks on Mr. Wilson.   EDWARD SCISSORHANDS  – A suburban mother brings home a freaky young man who has scissors instead of hands.   I think it’s so important to practice this, so every screenplay that is entered into the Monthly Writing Madness will require a logline right on the title page.    I’ve added a great exercise in this weeks freebie into the show notes. There are great questions to ask of your script. Not only will it help create a logline but it will also help your script as a whole. Because if you can not answer these questions for your logline then how is your full script fairing? So use this exercise for your logline and a quick examination of your script as a whole.   If you are just starting out and this concept intimidates you, there is a great formula that I was taught when I got my Masters.   Write down the protagonist, setting, problem, antagonist, conflict and goal. Then put it down into the the logline as such:   (Protagonist) in (setting) has/did/was (problem) caused by (antagonist) and (conflict) as they/he/she can (goal).    Work on this simple technique until you become confident with your own logline ability. I still use this to get the first logline out and then tweek it to fit what I was really wanting to say. I’ll be adding this technique into the freebie that you can find in the show notes and also at www.ink2screen.net/page2.      Now the 4 things to avoid doing when writing your logline. A logline is not a tagline. The tagline like In space no one can hear you scream!” This does not a logline make. Follow the steps above to create the best logline for your movie. Avoid the cliche as much as possible. Cliches are vague and do not provide the unique quality that only your script has. Questions. Do not ask questions in your logline. The logline can keep the reader guessing but don’t ask them the question. Let them wonder and want to read more. Keep it simple, stupid! Some writers go on and on. One to two sentences is all but that does not mean to create an eight line run on sentence. Strip it down and throw it out into the world.   Avoid these 5 things and you will be ahead of the game.    That is the crash course on loglines. If you want practice, take the Logline action guide from the show notes and practice writing a logline for your favorite films. How can you get it down to the bare bones.   Next week we will be in the middle of the first Monthly Writing Madness competition and it will be a great time to talk more about character development.   If you enjoyed this podcast, be sure to subscribe to it no matter where you are listening from.

Comedy writer Patrick Walsh ("It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia," "2 Broke Girls") teaches us how to develop a network TV pilot, how to survive an awkward childhood in Missouri, how to annoy your way into becoming an NBC page, how to adapt a book into a sitcom, how to handle the insane pressures of network television, how to make a show about religion that doesn't piss everyone off, and how to do a Master Cleanse. Then we play "Loglines," where Patrick comes up with real descriptions for fake TV shows that we realize should be real TV shows.

This week our boss Jericho makes us apologize for all our mistakes- so we make Retractions on literally almost every single thing we've ever done wrong, we find out if a dog and a cat can travel back in time to prevent a biological catastrophe, Nick gives away exactly 7 copies of Basic Instinct for Free, but mostly we take PR crafted Hollywood loglines for movies we haven't seen and craft a dumb redbox movie around it and then see how close we got. Also Truly edited this one because Clint went to the zoo. It doesn't come up in the podcast, really. But Clint would want you to ask about it because the zoo's a good time and he'd like to talk about it more than he'll probably get to.

Hey Friends,   In this episode we talk about getting started in storytelling. The easiest way to get started is to create a logline. Loglines have helped people, organizations and stories define what they are about and why they exist. In this episode we talk about why you should have a logline and how to get started implementing them into your story.    

WHY LOGLINES RULE You will hear examples of where in the industry loglines are used. This formula is so powerful, it’s like a little hand grenade, containing all the explosive power of your story.   ARE YOU WRITING THE RIGHT STORY?Loglines help you decide what to work on. You’ll understand instantly which ideas have legs, and which ones are goose eggs. In our logline lab, ideas are undressed, and the truth will shine.   THE EXACT FORMULAAmateurs write synopses or taglines, but pros know the exact structure. They word the logline, so their concepts are clear. This webinar will teach you this secret formula.
