					<description><![CDATA[In reply to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thestorydepartment.com/logline-it-week-6-2/#comment-1283&quot;&gt;Clive Hopkins&lt;/a&gt;.

&quot;These are not log lines nor are they intended to be.&quot;
They often aren&#039;t but I have every reason to believe they were taken from the submission documents, where applicants were asked to provide a &quot;one sentence synopsis&quot;. So they were intended to be loglines.
One might question the purpose of putting this stuff online (over at the SA web site) if they are NOT loglines. As information to the general public, what we see here in my view doesn&#039;t work. As a matter of accountability it doesn&#039;t work either. If they were proper loglines, it would at least serve a purpose: to inform the tax payer of the stories their money is invested in.

The educational value is in showing exactly why these blurbs are not serving any purpose and how this can be remedied. This is what we do here and what we do over at https://loglineit.com. I am just as cynical as you about the general quality of concepts and the lack of effort and skills but nothing is going to change if nobody does anything about it. I know my efforts aren&#039;t going to change the world overnight but I&#039;m doing something.

					<description><![CDATA[These are not log lines, nor are they intended to be. They come from the Screen Australia website, when they announce which projects they are funding for development.


Where is the educational value is criticising something for not being what it was never intended to be? It&#039;s like criticising this comment on the basis that it&#039;s not a haiku poem]]></description>

I agree with you Ian. For lots of examples of loglines, check out https://loglineit.com. 
You&#039;ll find failed examples but often you&#039;ll see how the writers improve them, following the comments of the readers.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I wish you gave an example of a good logline as well as a bad one in here to see the difference. These loglines to me are obviously not fleshed out enough yet. Especially the last one. I feel like the writer was lazy in not learning how to write a logline. ]]></description>
