    What is the relationship between a script and story logline?

    A logline is a brief description of the plot, it is used to sell your script to an industry insider.

    A logline is a brief description of the plot, it is used to sell your script to an industry insider. (As opposed to a tagline which is used to sell the movie to an audience)

    The logline should include a lead character, the inciting incident, the lead character’s goal and what is standing in the way of the goal (The main conflict) and if possible, it should also have a one or two-word hook.

    However, do not give away the end of the story in a logline, nor any big reveal.

    While there are formulas to writing a logline, What you want is this, after the reader has read the logline, they should be able to visualize the story in their head. It should not lead to confusion and questions like “Who is the lead character?” “What does the lead character want?” “What separates your story from every other story in this genre?” Or even worse, “I just don’t get it”

    If this is the response then your logline does not properly reflect the story that is in your script, (the story in your head) -or- your script has major story problems.

    I hope this is what you were looking for.

    I think you need to tell us 'why' all these creatures want her head. What is so special about her, or what is so special about her mission/goal that everyone wants her dead? What are they trying to stop? Take this as an example: "When she discovers she's the descendant of the last dragon, a headstroRead more

    What are they trying to stop?

    Take this as an example: “When she discovers she’s the descendant of the last dragon, a headstrong village girl must…” then tell us what her goal is and what she must do to achieve it.
