Synopsis

in the film industry, a synopsis is used by producers to shortlist film ideas which they may select  to produce. a good film synopsis has to tell you what happens without giving away too much detail. a good synopsis should also be very intriguing, in other words, intresting enough for a film producer to want to make your film.

before i start trying to think of a synopsis for my film, i am going to look at some professional synopsis' to see if the ones i find effective or ineffective have things in common and try to draw inspiration from this. the ones i will look at will be chosen based on peoples responses to my online survey of their favourite thriller films.

when looking at the synopsis for each of the films i didnt see any obvious connections between them, so this made me think the key to having an effective synopsis is to having originiality. looking closer at it i found that most of these synopsis' tell you the outlines of the films but leave all the key details, but they way in hich they phrased it, its still very enguaging, for example looking at fight club, which is a really abstract physcological thriller, the synopsis tells you but leaves a lot of holes. also, because the dots dont quite join  up here it makes you wonder why this has all happned similarly with the i am legend synopis. we are told everything that going on in the film yet we have no clue of why so it tells usthere is a plaugue, but we dont know why, how its started, when it started, or any other key information. th most different film out of all of them in my opinion is premium rush, its still a hriller, but because its a different type of thriller to the rest its very different and as a rssult its synopsis uses a different approach in its synopsis. it tells you the storylone but it uses very simple words which leaves you a little confused and when i read the synopsis the only question i had in my head was why? this is completely different from the pulp fiction where a lot of big words and drawing opposing sub plots of the film together tp leave the reader confused and wanting to know the missing information. because my storyline is not very abstract, its qute linear i will have to adjust mine similar to the premium rush synopsis and aim to leave questions in the readers head, i will try to use less frequently used words to further intriggue the reader also.
