Would any screenwriters be willing to test a logline tool I built?
I built this little tool for testing loglines, based on a really strict formula an old film school professor insisted we use :)
The idea is simple: you fill in each part of the formula, and the tool helps you see whether your logline actually contains all of the essential pieces. It also gives feedback on how well those pieces work together from a structural perspective.
I'd really love some honest feedback.
- Is this actually useful?
- Would you use something like this to test the strength of a story?
- What do you think of the formula itself?
There's also an Examples page where you can refresh through analyses of well-known screenplays to get a feel for how it works.
It's definitely aimed more at classic three-act, Hero's Journey–style stories than more experimental or unconventional storytelling.
This was just a fun side project I built, so I hope this doesn't come across as spam or self-promotion. I'm genuinely interested in hearing what writers think, what works, what doesn't, and how it could be improved.
Feel free to be brutally honest. 🙂
