Log Lines

            Anthony Wilder explores the Brazilian jungles searching for lost treasure to give him fame and glory.

            Jason Stelfer Busks on the streets of New York so he can pay for his next meal.

            Alex Smith contemplates life and death while standing on top of the worlds tallest building after his fiancé left him for another man.
           

            Jane and jack share one last final moment together neither knowing that the other is in love with them as they watch the meteor “Apotheosis” streak through the sky towards earth. 


            My favourite log line is the one about the man standing on the edge of a building and contemplating to jump or not. I would do it in the way that a man is sent up to try and talk him out of jumping. I would use monologues showing what the jumper is thinking and also one for the man trying to talk him out of jumping. I would also create a semi-comical twist in the plot where the jumper makes the man trying to talk him out of it feel suicidal and have to talk him out of jumping. The whole setting of this radio play would be set atop of the Dubai Tower; all other settings would only be referenced through the two characters dialogue.
