What if the audience assume the main character dies but in the last scene we see him alive?

I remember all stories told to me when i was a child were sypnosis.

Thank you for this video - it's great (though the droning angelic voices are out of place and distracting)

Great video. Thank you.

What if You only plan to bring one Pony to the Rodeo?

Why is this Synopsis so "long"?
It should be like 2-3 brief paragraphs.
Synopsis is something which a reader should be able to read quickly.

In Movie Synopsis which tense we want to use

This is horrible, I should have known with a movie like Empire Strikes Back and happy American endings.

Very informative

Im guessing you never would have got a penny to write with this synopsis. Who is Han? Is Lukes surname Skywalker??? Chewbacca?? Is that some kind of animal?? This is the problem if you writing a synopsis of a movie already been made. Everyone knows the characters. Try to write a synopsis of a story where theres in no script. I like your plot-point chart, but the example is not good.

This guy has no clue as to what he is talking about
... Please stick to your day job if u have one.

After start of act 2 how can you again introduce midpoint where the protagonist goes through immense failure... This is not at all in order.

this is way too formulaic which is what is wrong with every Yank production... overall, an epic fail.

I'm writing a synopsis on a series I co-wrote, and have been asked to submit a two page synopsis. Would you recommend I write a synopsis about season 1 in it's entirety, or break the synopsis up by episode?

If I can't write a screenplay can I sell a synopsis of my movie story idea to an agent or a producer ?

kinda dumb to use a sequel for this since it's not anything like a one off synopsis would be written...

The Empire Strikes Back is one of my favorites, too.

what is the format!! Margins, spacing.

Great points, thank you!

I have been asked to write a synopsis of not more than 2500 words. Would this method help?

great video！！！！！！

not good

Very well explained. Thank you.

so far Paramount Pictures, 20th. Century Fox.. American Zoetrope, Sony, etc. have read my script but say Add Polish..... (thats $40,000.oo) Pixar is kinda looking at it.... Sony requested the full manuscript, entire screenplay but then got mad when I could not find the synopsis they later requested and it was not in my computer... with this info.. i can re write the synopsis if Sony is over their temper tantrum

Hello, I am from a small Island and I have already written my synopsis, how can I now find an American producer?

people have said 1-2 pages but others say 1 or less what do i do?

@Write to Reel, I've finished writing my script but it is based on a Manga. When writing a synopsis, do I put that the work is based on previous works? Or just go in and write the plot of the story like you have stated? Thanks!

Very good, thank you.  A "should watch" video.

Good informative vid, thank you.

loved it

Nice one, Hank
