The Script Lab has a quick lil' short section on loglines.
www.thescriptlab.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=540:how-to-write-a-logline&catid=124:script-tips&Itemid=142
One of the interesting things, and gets to some of the logline problems we see, is this tip: "Be direct, no hinting allowed."
I see a lot of people trying to "hide" their story by hinting at the larger plot. You can't do that! Prodcos and agents need to know exactly what your story idea is to see whether it's worth their time or money.
Don't hide your great ideas!
