Hello Alexandra. When writing a logline, I suggest you to use this template: 'When X (inciting incident) happens, THIS (Adjective/Profession) PERSON is forced to Battle/Face/Overcome THIS in order to Active Verb/Goal THIS before/or else THIS occurs.'

Maurice Vaughan

I agree with Marcos Fizzotti. I would, however, avoid using "is forced to" or "must" in a logline because they make it sound like the main character is forced to achieve the goal in the story. A main character should "choose" to pursue the goal. "Tries to" or "attempts to" are more active than "is forced to" and "must."

Marcos Fizzotti

Very good point, Maurice.

Also, here's my suggestion for the synopsis: 'Alexandra, princess of Miraculous Kingdom, is assigned the crucial mission of finding two mysterious items which, believed to have magical powers, can bring the liberation of both her king and kingdom. Along the way, she lives intense adventures, also finding the answers for a bundle of life questions. And fear nothing, for she’ll get help. By the end of such amazing journey, Alexandra comes back enriched by the true meaning of leadership and responsibilities, to lead her kingdom with justice and honor.' It's just a draft, any opinion will be of utmost value.

Here's my suggestion for logline ( I hope I've got the story right): 'When freedom on Miraculous Kingdom is threatened, a brave princess needs to go on a journey to find two magical relics with the power of bringing knowledge and wisdom.'

Maurice Vaughan

Great synopsis, Marcos Fizzotti.

I like your logline, Marcos Fizzotti. I would change it a little though:

"When freedom in Miraculous Kingdom is threatened, a brave princess goes on a journey to find two magical relics with the power to liberate her king and kingdom."

Thank you, Maurice!

Dear Marcos and Maurice, my pleasure for your suggestions. Could you recommend me a way to screen this magic story?
