Planning My Synopsis

Synopsis for my film

My ideas are slightly different however I have some conventions, which will remain the same, regardless of which synopsis I choose to pursue. I plan on getting primary audience research on both ideas and to ask my audience, which they prefer, why and any improvements that could be made.

My first idea would be called Who’s There?

A group of young people gather at a suburban house in a working class area.  All is well, they are enjoying each others company on the weekend, playing board games and having a takeaway, much like any other group of friends. Until one knock at the door disrupts all of this normality. Jack goes to answer and looks through the peephole, and looking back is his worst nightmare. Stood on the other side of the door, stands a masked figure, stood rigid and still. ‘Knock Knock, Who’s There’ the masked menace cackles, before running away..

Moments later, the electricity shuts down, and somehow the masked figure returns, now within the house and on a mission to cause terror. Who will escape and who will be consumed by this monster? 



My second idea is The Figure In The Woods 


A couple are having a picnic in a quiet wooded area, however their romantic outing soon turns into something much more. Unknown to them, someone is lurking in the distance, watching and waiting for their time to pounce. This mystery figure causes complete chaos and mayhem to the couple, who is completely detached from their actions. Luckily the couple escape from the clutches of the menace, but this is short-lived as he is always there, watching and waiting for his chance to strike.
