I have a high concept logline that I've been using, but I've started doubting myself and tried to write a more standard logline. Problem is, it's much longer. This might just be my inexperience showing though. If anyone has a quick moment to glance at these two loglines and tell me what you think, I...

Robert McKee approaches story from the audience’s perspective whereas Dramatica approaches it from the author’s perspective. McKee speaks of author and audience but always with an eye on the story’s meaning—a view only available to someone looking at story from the inside. This view is great for und...

I'm writing something now and trying to set it straight in my mind. I am writing from the story meaning, of being in the story. I am usually the main character. But Alle, I don't mean from his POV. Wh...

I know outlining helps writers and many writers recommend it. The problem is that my brain works like a movie projector. The movie needs to play in my mind first with my eyes closed from beginning to finish. I am the audience. I write what I see. When I stare the outline board, I just sit like a zombie, is there a way to break through the process?
@Carol: I've begun to incorporate outlining. I write the parts that I see in the form of an outline instead of a whole script. I then go back and rewind the film and wonder if the film would play any...

Hi Emmerkar, An idea used often is free writing. Just jot down your images on the page regardless of order. Do it as quickly as comes. Oliver Stone mentioned that he writes the first draft quickly. Fl...

Outlining sucks and is boring but it's necessary. I managed to write one script without one, so I considered that my outline. But in general some type of outline helps immensely. I like using beat she...

Greetings Martin! I like your wallpaper -- my father might have been in the photo. Thanks!
Great!
Shot down, listed as K.I.A., reborn as Supersoldier Eagle 7, Marine pilot Vick Seabolt must fight alone and survive against enemies of the state from brutal drug cartels to an international arms dealer in order to track down Sorcerer, a megalomaniac with his finger on the bomb, to stop him from saving the world.
Kept in the dark about the government's involvement with the UFO phenomena, the President orders a secret investigation that brings Special Investigators Max and Judge too close to the truth, forcing the military to shut down the investigation, but not in time to save the President from the truth.

One is my preference as it's tighter. Two seems like something you might lead with for a one or two minute pitch. I'm guessing 2 could also go like, Surviving a crash landing a WWII POW pilot now must stop an enemy commander from using the third atomic bomb at home.
thank you guys again for your feedback. Every bit helps!

Expand commentHi Phillip, Does "The Third Bomb" evoke interest? It's good to run a list of idea titles e.g., "After Nagasaki," or "Fallen Cause," or "Lives in the Balance," etc., to jog your creative powers. For the logline, it's good to keep the secret secret. For example: "When a downed American pilot is captured by the Japanese at the end of WWII, he must thwart a Japanese P.O.W. Commander from discovering the weapon Allies fear most." Build intrigue. Good luck and hit it out of the park!
