PRINCESS OF DEMONS sounds interesting, Corey Balbuena!

I suggest changing "Princess Sylbie" to "_______ (the main flaw she has to overcome in the script or an adjective that describes her personality) princess." Names in loglines are usually for biopics, well-known stories, and franchises (like Mission: Impossible). And the adjective will give us more insight into her character.

The man-eaters destroyed Princess Sylbie's kingdom already, so what is she fighting back for?

Thank you so much, Maurice! Those are very good points! I will implement those suggestions to improve the logline! Thank you for your feedback and suggestions. I am still trying to figure out how to come up with loglines haha.

You're welcome, Corey Balbuena. Here’s a logline template that might help: After/when ______ (the inciting incident/event that sets the plot in motion), a _______ (the main flaw the protagonist has to overcome in the script or an adjective that describes the protagonist’s personality) _______ (the protagonist’s title/job/career) tries to/attempts to/fights to/struggles to/strives to/sets out to/fights/battles/engages in/competes/etc. _______ (goal of story and try to add the obstacles here) to/so/in order to ________ (stakes).

The inciting incident can also be at the end of the logline: A _______ (the main flaw the protagonist has to overcome in the script or an adjective that describes the protagonist’s personality) _______ (the protagonist’s title/job/career) tries to/attempts to/fights to/struggles to/strives to/sets out to/fights/battles/engages in/competes/etc. _______ (goal of story and try to add the obstacles here) to/so/in order to ________ (stakes) after/when ______ (the inciting incident/event that sets the plot in motion).

Loglines are one or two sentences. A one-sentence logline sounds better, and it takes less time for a producer, director, etc. to read it. Try to keep your logline to 35 words or less. Long loglines can make producers, directors, etc. pass on a project.

Avoid using “must” in loglines. “Must” usually means the protagonist is forced to do whatever they need to do in the story instead of doing it willingly. You might need to use “must” in a logline though, like when the protagonist is forced by another character to do something. Using “must” to choose between two options is fine.

Names in loglines are usually for biopics, well-known stories, and franchises (like Mission: Impossible).

Sometimes I put the location and date that the story takes place in instead of the inciting incident if it’s a Period Piece script.

All stories don’t follow this logline template. Biopics, documentaries, and Experimental scripts might not follow the template. The series logline for a TV show can follow this template, but the pilot logline and episode loglines for the show might not.

That is EXTREMELY helpful, thank you!

You're welcome, Corey Balbuena.

Hi Maurice, is this better?

Hi, Corey Balbuena. Your logline is better. One more suggestion: tell how they save humankind (they fight the reptilian race, they secretly plan an attack against the reptilian race, etc.).

Great idea, thank you!

You're welcome, Corey Balbuena.
