I would buy the story just by looking at the amazing picture. It screams adventure and dreams. This raises the question, do people use pictures to pitch or sell their story, especially when it's difficult to find the right logline that mirrors the movie in a good way.

Shari, my sense is there is a general negative view toward pictures in a script although I've seen my fair share of them where they have sold like Viral by Dustin Benson and Line of Sight by F. Scott Frazier, albeit only 1 picture per script. I think you should assume your job is to create the pictures in a reader's MIND; if you have to rely on photos, that could signify to a reader you're not doing your job well enough.

Interestingly, some loglines seem to create a picture in your mind and some don't. For example, two of my favourite films: INCEPTION: a criminal who infiltrates people's dreams to steal their secrets is asked to do the impossible - instead stealing an idea, he must plant one... Great concept, but I can't *see* what that movie's going to look like. Now take - PACIFIC RIM: when rampaging monsters emerge from beneath the Pacific, mankind creates giant robots, controlled by two mind-melded pilots, to fight back. And I know exactly what *that* movie's going to look and feel like... So maybe some ideas reduce easily to a mental image, and some don't?
