Main task: Synopsis

During the lesson we were asked to write a synopsis for our film "Murder Studies". In short, a synopsis is a brief piece of writing, often a paragraph or two that gives the reader an overall idea of the film that it has written for. Our Synopsis is as follows:

Fred, Jase, Mike and Tom are 4 average sixth form lads who are assigned the task of planning and creating a teen horror movie. After indulging themselves in lots of research by watching horror movies, they have their plan; A psychopathic killer who kidnaps teenagers and tortures them in new and inventive ways...
While filming for their horror movie they get carried away with their roles and begin actually killing and torturing victims in the style of the murderers from the films they have researched. The style of their killings are loosely based on the Saw films along with hints of other horror classics such as halloween and Friday the 13th.


After we had finished writing our synopsis we were asked to go out and ask people within our targeted age range (15-25) how the thought Murder Studies should begin after we had shown then our synopsis. We filmed our interviews and in my next post I shall put on the footage of some of these interviews.
