How Do You Write A Screenplay Sypnosis?
Before a movie ever makes it to the big screen, it must be bought by a production company and made. For a movie to be bought it must be sold, and the best way to sell a movie is to pitch it to development executives. Because these executives deal with so many movies every year, they often never even read a script. Instead, they read a synopsis of the script’s story to determine if it is worth buying. This is why writing a good screenplay synopsis is so important. Follow these helpful guidelines. Focus on the story. The first and most important key to any good synopsis is to stay simple and true to the skeletal structure of the story. The synopsis is not the time to delve into the intricacies of subplots or talk about funny characters that make cameos in the screenplay. It is time for you to simply and succinctly explain your story in as clear a way as you possibly can. Focus on the protagonist, antagonist and any ancillary characters that only deal with the moving forward of the plot.
