Haha, that's the trick. Advice most writers here...take the genre of movies you like, or even one or two of your favorite movies. Can you combine them? Can you give one of the ideas a unique twist?
@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!
Important question, do you have rights/permission to use the Manga property it's based on? If not, don't state it AND it would be beneficial to make the story completely unique with story and characters.
@@vampirethespiderbatgod9740 screenwriting.io/what-tense-are-screenplays-written-in/ Pretty easy to Google, dude. Always use present tense. There are very few exceptions. Same goes for the synopsis too.
Keep it one or less and interesting to make them eager for your whole script. Synopsis is your presentation of the actual script. In short, don't make 1 page version of your script. Try to make a best presentation of your script to sell it. It's just like a marketing business "Presentation matters more than the Quality".
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?
We're not TV experts, but my guess would be an overall of season one. The main effects it should have is to be engaging and display longevity for the show.
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
At 6:00 you explain how to use the synopsis to pitch our script, but then you say if they ask for a synopsis we should write one and send it. Erm... didn't we just present the synopsis? Why would they ask for a new one?
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.
Very well explained. Thank you.
The Empire Strikes Back is one of my favorites, too.
Great points, thank you!

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

In Movie Synopsis which tense we want to use
Always use present tense. Just like you do in your script
@@dudeduder2888 Provide the sources where it is written to write the script in present tense.

Hello, I am from a small Island and I have already written my synopsis, how can I now find an American producer?
Send your synopsys by mail of any professional Hollywood production house in creative department.best of luck.
At 6:00 you explain how to use the synopsis to pitch our script, but then you say if they ask for a synopsis we should write one and send it. Erm... didn't we just present the synopsis? Why would they ask for a new one?
What if the audience assume the main character dies but in the last scene we see him alive?

If I can't write a screenplay can I sell a synopsis of my movie story idea to an agent or a producer ?
Yes if you get it copywritten and own the rights
@@LogicbyDesign Nothing is truly copywritten in the world.

Agree
what is the format!! Margins, spacing.
Me, responding a 2 year old comment: Most times is 12 pt. Courier new, double spaced. Sometimes the synopsis are asked to be up to 6 pages.
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.
kinda dumb to use a sequel for this since it's not anything like a one off synopsis would be written...
Story arcs remain pretty similar as it's the structure he's talking about, makes sense to me
Thank you for this video - it's great (though the droning angelic voices are out of place and distracting)

This is horrible, I should have known with a movie like Empire Strikes Back and happy American endings.
Oh get over yourself man, where are you from Romania? Empire Strikes Back is a classic film.

not good
this is way too formulaic which is what is wrong with every Yank production... overall, an epic fail.
What does that mean?
