Title: Snopsises..es...
Post by: Jared Katooie on 26 January, 2003, 10:22:40 PM
Eh, stupid question I presume but what exactly should I put in a synopsis? Should it describe the whole plot of the story or be sort of a teaser ie. not give everything away? I'm willing to give this a shot but I want to make sure everything is right first...

A synopsis is a brief outline of the story and characters involved. Basically it's like telling someone about a half hour tv programme, without actually taking half a hour to do it.

Well it depends for it's for?!

Imagine you've just seen a great film and you're telling a mate about it...

Make it long enough to include all the salient details but not too long. And if it's for a submission you do tell the ending.
