logline

SKILL.md

A logline (also called a "hook") is a one to two sentence description of your movie that captures the essence of the story in a way that makes people want to see it.

Per WTFB methodology, every effective hook contains these four elements:

Raiders of the Lost Ark "An archeologist is hired by the U.S. government to find the Ark of the Covenant before the Nazis."

This skill provides logline (hook) writing techniques for screenplays. Covers the four components (characters, conflict, setting, action), formulas for effective loglines, and common mistakes to avoid. Use when: distilling a story to its essential hook, preparing pitch materials, testing if a concept is compelling, or marketing a screenplay. Source: bybren-llc/story-systems-template.
