Synopsis

Synopses are summaries of a film though does not reveal everything towards the audience this is to help give them an understanding of the setting of the film and its plotline without spoiling the suspense and tension in the film.

A written summary starts with a lead, including title, author, text type and the main idea of the text. It has a clearly arranged structure and is written in a logical, chronological and traceable manner. In contrast to a résumé or a review, a summary contains neither interpretation nor rating. Only the opinion of the original writer is reflected paraphrased with new words without quotations from the text. Unlike a retelling, a summary has no dramatic structure and is written in present tense or historic present. Because summaries should be significantly shorter than the original, minor facts have to be left out. However all major conclusions should remain. In summaries only indirect speech is used and depictions are avoided.

I will be giving summaries to the situation of the character in our clip so as to help the audience understand what is going on without trying to give too much away this way it will help audiences want to know what happens next. The subgenre that will be used for this clip will be mixed between conspiracy and psychological thriller an example of a psychological thriller I would use to help me would be Phone Booth which helps give a good understand of a Psychological thriller as in this film you never see the antagonist only hear him through the phone mocking and taunting the protagonist. The psychological impact of this causes the protagonist to change his ways of lies and deceit. Another example would be Saw often containing riddles that will either save or kill the unfortunate character though often these riddles contain a secret message that tells them another way to save each other though this is never revealed until the end
