September 23, 2012, 7:06 pm
@holhuds: Would a 1pager be considered a very abbreviated
synopsis? or treatment?n #scriptchat
September 23, 2012, 7:06 pm
@flemska: I guess if you tweet a lot its easy to come up
with one line loglines as you can't go over a 140 words - so tweeting can help?
#scriptchat
September 23, 2012, 7:06 pm
@teenierussell: The 1st question you are likely to be asked
when you tell people you have a script is: "What is the story?" That
is your logline #scriptchat
September 23, 2012, 7:07 pm
@dwacon: @teenierussell I made biz cards with 1-liners of
all my scripts. Gave them out at a film festival. Made several great contacts
#scriptchat
September 23, 2012, 7:08 pm
@flemska: I guess loglines for TV pilots are different than
for movies? #scriptchat
September 23, 2012, 7:08 pm
@Bang2write: @holhuds sort of, tho a logline shld be
interesting/dynamic in telling us the story too #scriptchat
September 23, 2012, 7:09 pm
@Bang2write: @flemska yes, tweeting is great logline
practice! #scriptchat
September 23, 2012, 7:09 pm
@TaroJ: @holhuds I would say its more of a synopsis, for me
a treatment would be longer and is essentially what your story will be #scriptchat
September 23, 2012, 7:09 pm
@teenierussell: @flemska I agree, it helps you think about
your choice of words #scriptchat
September 23, 2012, 7:10 pm
@teenierussell: @Bang2write @flemska The LSWF did a logline
comp last year on Twitter which was great fun and good practice #scriptchat
September 23, 2012, 7:10 pm
@HateTheHate: #scriptchat I'm guessing "Zombies on the
Moon" is a tad short? ... it is succint though. #logline
September 23, 2012, 7:11 pm
@teenierussell: @dwacon did you have a selection of
different cards or all on 1? #scriptchat
September 23, 2012, 7:11 pm
@flemska: @teenierussell so by the time I end up with
thousands of followers I know I'm ready to send out my loglines LOL #scriptchat
September 23, 2012, 7:11 pm
@holhuds: @TaroJ @bang2write Thx, yes, that's what I
thought.:) #scriptchat
September 23, 2012, 7:12 pm
@TaroJ: I think the thing to remember is that there is
difference between a logline and a tag line #scriptchat
September 23, 2012, 7:12 pm
@teenierussell: @HateTheHate good for a title? Like Snakes
on a Plane. Why is that a problem though? (if you see where I'm going)
#scriptchat
September 23, 2012, 7:12 pm
@dwacon: @teenierussell It was a card 2x longer…folded in
½…so standard size with 2x the room for information. #scriptchat
September 23, 2012, 7:12 pm
@flemska: @teenierussell I did also something similar and a
producer said they 'hate' should cards and put them in the bin before reading
#scriptchat
September 23, 2012, 7:12 pm
@Bang2write: @HateTheHate Zombies on the moon - is the
setting. Zombies on the moon -doing what? That's the story #scriptchat
September 23, 2012, 7:13 pm
@TaroJ: Tag line sells on a poster "in space no-one
hears you scream" logline sums up your story #scriptchat
September 23, 2012, 7:13 pm

their own ideas about zombies and sci-fi. #bookBYitsCOVER #scriptchat

can't get along with them. Got a round one once! #scriptchat

actually. Just needed a reason for zombies and people to be up there.
#zombieMOON #scriptchat

with one will like the cards others will #scriptchat
September 23, 2012, 7:22 pm
@Bang2write: @teenierussell yes, loglines need to give an
indication of what the stakes are to really pique an interest #scriptchat

verbal pitch and your personality before handing out the card. #scriptchat
