2. What A synopsis Includes
Firstly there is an introduction to the lead protagonist or
Protagonists. Forrest Gump, the only fictional biopic in our
examples, Starts with, ‘Forrest Gump is’ where as the non-Fiction
Biopics have a small description before revealing the identity of
the protagonist. For the Synopsis of our fictional Biopic we will use
the, same technique as the Synopsis For Forrest Gump because
the audience will need introducing to our Protagonists so they
begin to build an emotional connection.
Next in the Synopsis a rough outline of from where the
feature follows the protagonist’s life or describes how and why
they become such an important, historic figure which captivates
the audience and allows them to relate to how the protagonists
affected the readers life. For us this will be from the moment the
Band First came together to play a song to how they instil a new
social revolution over time.
A small insight into why the film is interesting generates
interest in the reader. This can be a problem the protagonists
faces or an emphasis of how important they are to history, ‘A
resurrection no one thought was possible.’ This allows the
audience to empathise with the protagonists.
The end of the synopsis usually contains a statement about
the character that leaves the audience thinking, ‘in the end all he
wants to prove is that anyone can love anyone.’
