Synopsis - Draft One Notes
After a discussion with my tutor, it was found that there were several key elements of my story missing from the initial plan. For example, the synopsis that I had posted was lacking a significant predicament - the story was too quick to end, and never involved the character making a real choice.
There was also no unity of time, place or action; there were periods of time that would be missed, meaning that action and time are not unified. If these aren't unified, then the short film will feel less like a short, and more like an interior scene from a feature film. Ultimately, the product of the discussion was that I had started writing about something that my heart was not into - I didn't care as much as I should about the subject to start writing about it.
The film also lacked a significant theme. What I was trying to write about (Suicide) was regarded as more of an issue then a theme.
All of these things, in combination with one another, meant that the first idea I had come up with was not very strong at all.
So, the general consensus at the end of the discussion was to find something else, something that I absolutely knew that I cared about, and write about that instead.
