I am a new screenwriter and very influenced by the concept of getting the bare bones structure idea down before proceeding. I am fascinated by loglines. Having just read Save The Cat and The Idea (Erik Bork), I completely convinced that without this core, the writer should not proceed. I am interested in the structure of loglines, as a form of expression as by nature they demand poetic functionality. If anyone has any comments about this, I would love to hear. I also have a logline (below) I would like to run by anyone who might care to give me feedback. Many Thanks, Michael
Comedic series logline draft
An Ivy League schooled, “Below The Line” worker, on a schlocky but popular SciFi TV series, has expectations, verging on entitlement, to rise “Above The Line” as a producer. His ambitions however are perpetually thwarted by his bad (personal, professional and drug) habits.
