Hi! Thanks for a great tips for scriptwriting. Acctually I have a question How about writing a logline when there are more then one character in the story?

[@ScriptwritingTips]

Hello, thank you for your comment! Do you mean what we do in case there are two protagonists instead of one? You include both of them in your logline. For example, the son and daughter of two vowed enemies meet and fall in love with other and decide to disobey their families in order to be together. That would be the case for Romeo and Juliet or something like that. If you have even more protagonists then you would probably say something like this: "A group of people who all have problems with their jobs, unite and..."

How to avoid spoilers in the logline?

[@ScriptwritingTips]

You should not avoid spoilers in the logline. The logline is not something that the audience reads. Is the phrase you use to sell your script to producers (and to help you stick to the point when you're writing the script). You must not avoid anything, because you must include the most important and the most original ideas of your script. This is your ticket to sell it or find the money to film it!

@@ScriptwritingTips To be honest didn't put much thought on the genre, just struck an idea and thought of how would logline be..

@@abhishekbiswas2267 Well, you have a protagonist, a goal and an obstacle. You need to work it on, but there's a good starting point.
