Start with Your Premise

Every great screenplay begins with a single, compelling idea. Write your log line — the DNA of your entire story. Don't worry about genre or tone yet; that comes next.

Pro Tips

  • The Formula: The formula: [protagonist] must [objective] before [antagonist/deadline] or else [stakes].
  • Include your protagonist: Name them or describe them vividly in the logline.
  • Keep it short: The best loglines are 25-50 words. If it takes longer, simplify.
  • Create a visual: If you can picture the movie poster from the logline, it works.

Pro Tips

The best loglines answer: WHO wants WHAT, but WHY can't they get it?

Blake Snyder

Irony sells. The best premises have built-in irony — a cop who must break the law, a pacifist forced to fight.

Industry

If you can't pitch it in one sentence, you can't sell it. Hollywood calls this the 'elevator pitch.'
