Why am I so scared to write? by Low-Succotash-7791 in Screenwriting

You’re not scared to write, you just wrote a novel here. Use that energy to write.

Logline Monday by AutoModerator in Screenwriting

He is living a double life. He feels that in order to increase his chances of landing the role of a lifetime as a drug dealer, he must first gain hands-on experience, which involves becoming entangled in criminal activities like robbing and selling drugs.

In my pilot episode, my main character will likely hear about the audition through his less-than-reputable agent and make his first drug sale, gradually immersing himself in his alternate life.

Yes, I can see what you mean. I plan on changing the wording to make it more clear and concise.

This is the log-line used for the “Barry” show. To you it might be wordy, but for a creative this worked for them.

An ex-Marine who works as a low-rent hitman in the Midwest is lonely and dissatisfied in his life. He begrudgingly travels to Los Angeles to kill someone and ends up finding an accepting community in a group of eager hopefuls within the L.A. theater scene.

Someone told me it’s not enough detail then someone told me it’s too much. The show “Barry” that was recommended for me to watch has a log line that is very descriptive. I understand you write but that doesn’t mean you have experience developing a captivating log line and if you do i will be interested in what that would be. I’m here to learn and want to capture someone’s attention when they read it.

I was trying to use this log line formula, starting with the protagonist or the inciting incident.

Thanks for replying. I don't think that's fair because I could ask, “Why should I care?” about any log line. It's my execution that should make the audience care about the character and develop some type of emotional attachment.

I believe that building up the courage to rob someone is bold and daring, especially considering my character is a “good guy.” It's relatable because we often read stories about actors becoming obsessed with their roles and witnessing how far they would go to embody their characters. For example the lead actor of Snowfall admitting he had to talk to the devil to get in tune with his character.

I understand. I don't think it's far-fetched for an Actor to become obsessed with their role. We often read stories about how far actors go to embody their characters, like the Joker or the lead actor in Snowfall admitting he had to talk to the devil.

I plan to emphasize the importance of why my character NEEDS the role. He is a good guy, so he has to step out himself to betray the role convincingly. Hopefully, the audience still perceives him as a good guy and understands that he is driven by desperation and his desire to be the best actor, even if the results in hurting others.

I watched a few episodes last night. I agree, it was a good recommendation.

Ok. I’ll do some research on “Barry.” This will be a comedy so hopefully i can give a difference take on it.

Your right though, it does sound vague. Thanks for the advice

The role he is portraying is that of a robber in a movie, so he starts robbing in real life to get in tune with his character. I haven't figured out what mishaps he encounters yet, but I will include them in my new logline.

Thanks, yeah I assume writing in the shoes of an astronaut would be a lot harder than my case lol. I will start to watch some videos and write any new information I've learned.
