A synopsis is a brief description of the overall film that someone is making. It can be used to sell the film to a production company, and get them to be involved in it.
It is said that its not a good film if it can't be explained in 25 words or less, and that it hasn't had much thought put into it.
This was our original idea for our 25 word synopsis:
"A group of teenagers go camping in the woods, as night falls they hear noises coming from the trees. What happens next? Nobody knows."
After we got feedback from our class for our synopsis we realised that it doesn't explain the actual plot of the film. Suggestions we had to make our synopsis better included the idea of is there going to be 'the last girl standing'? Or will everyone die? We would have to figure out our unique selling point and work our what does actually happen at the end of the film.
We found the feedback helpful and took on board what was said. We went back to think about our ending and the plot of the film and came up with another 25 word synopsis:
"A group of teenagers camp out in the woods unknown a killer is after them. Without help they have to escape their worst nightmares"
"A group of teenagers camp out in the woods unknown a killer is after them. Without help they have to escape their worst nightmares"
