The story about the ghost of a 5-year-old who will not rest until her mother gets justice, finds love and lives happily ever after.
The Ghost Of Zerlina
Where screenwriters learn the form and logline their screen ideas.
The Ghost Of Zerlina
Obviously my example above needs your antagonist slotted in at 'an unjust cause'! ;-)
Hi Mike,
Yes, I also think you should outline the antagonist or at least the danger that the mother is in to create more drama in your log line. I personally am ok with 'This is a story...'. In fact I had to hand in a logline and synopsis to a filming body and their example of a logline started with those words. But it just adds more words and the best loglines are under 25 words. ;-)
The ghost of a 5yr old girl will go to any lengths to protect her grieving mother from 'an unjust cause' so she can finally find happiness.
Hope this helps!
>>until her mother gets justice
Why does the mother need justice? What kind of justice? Does it have something to do with the kid's untimely death?
