Synopsis research

A synopsis is a brief description of movie that outlines its plot in a brief summary. Like a storyboard, a synopsis explains the scenes of the movie but lack as much information compared to the other with only limited.

But why are they so important?
The movie synopsis is one of the best things for any type of moviegoer. Anyone who is not familiar with a movie will look toward the movie synopsis to figure out exactly what the movie is about. The movie synopsis will give you the basic plot details without giving you all of the different types of information that would ruin the movie for you.

Example of synopsises:
Hunger Games
Set in the future, 16-year-old Katniss Everdeen is living with her mother and little sister Prim in what's left of North America, in one of 12 districts all being run by the Capitol. Despite mastering the skill of hunting with a bow and arrow, Katniss still struggles to keep her family from going hungry.
Each year, the names of all residents between the ages of 12 and 18 are entered into a lottery and two names, one girl and one boy, are chosen at random from each district to compete in the televised Hunger Games. The 24 children must try to kill each other off and the last one standing is rewarded by the Capitol with a feast of food.
When Prim's name is selected, Katniss steps up to take her place in the deadly competition.
Based on the first novel of Suzanne Collins' bestselling "The Hunger Games" trilogy.
This gives a bit of information about both the film and its link to its orgins giving the reader a good insight on the movies plot and as a whole.

The Hobbit
Bilbo Baggins is swept into a quest to reclaim the lost Dwarf Kingdom of Erebor from the fearsome dragon Smaug. Approached out of the blue by the wizard Gandalf the Grey, Bilbo finds himself joining a company of thirteen dwarves led by the legendary warrior, Thorin Oakenshield. Their journey will take them into the Wild; through treacherous lands swarming with Goblins and Orcs, deadly Wargs and Giant Spiders, Shapeshifters and Sorcerers. Although their goal lies to the East and the wastelands of the Lonely Mountain first they must escape the goblin tunnels, where Bilbo meets the creature that will change his life forever ... Gollum. Here, alone with Gollum, on the shores of an underground lake, the unassuming Bilbo Baggins not only discovers depths of guile and courage that surprise even him, he also gains possession of Gollum's "precious" ring that holds unexpected and useful qualities ... A simple, gold ring that is tied to the fate of all Middle-earth in ways Bilbo cannot begin to know.
This gives a short insight into the movies plot without revealing full on out twists within the movie.

These give a quick summary of the movie without fully going into too much detail. These can also be used by reviewers as a source of information on what the film is about. Though we are only making a two minutes open segment our group still intends on making a synopsis as it helps tie that sequence to the rest of the play. This would also add to the realistic feel as if was actually from a full blown movie.
