Just finished my first ever screenplay, and I need some opinions on the logline and the synopsis. This is my first time writing a logline, so I know for a FACT that I need help on it. lol. Here goes nothing:
Title: The Rich & The Shameless
Tagline: Leave your dignity at home.
Logline: After being banned from all social cliques and events by the most powerful student in school, a new kid forms his own clique of intelligent but reckless misfits who attract attention from the student body and a whip cracking principal.
Synopsis: Seventeen year old Ethan Penn, a born and raised New Yorker, receives the worst news of his young life. He, his widowed mom and his little brother are packing their bags and moving to Florida.
Forced to finish off his senior year at a new high school, Ethan accidentally crosses path with the most powerful member of the student body, Jake Ryan, who blacklists him from all social events and threatens anyone who becomes friends with him.
When Ethan forms his own clique of intelligent but reckless honor roll students, the war is on. Add interest from the school’s gossip blog, admiration from the student body and the attention from a whip cracking, up to no good Principal, and we have senior year at Douglas High School.
Cheating, lying, stealing, backstabbing, fist fights, and revenge are all fair game and heads will roll! Can Ethan and his shameless counterparts survive all the chaos surrounding them before they receive their high school diplomas?
