SPACED is a comedy drama based on a group of various aged quirky friends. A guy and girl in there twenties meet on the off chance and build a connection with one another. Realising they are both in the same position of needing somewhere to live. After finding a flat and meeting their neighbours, a series of amusing, emotional, witty and life changing events occur which makes each character grow.
Tim is the main male lead, a child-like, aspiring comic book artist who was recently dumped. wanting a fresh start he finds the chance meeting with Daisy, life changing.
Daisy, the main female lead, is a highly emotional, likeable, trippy, fantasist, wanting to get out of her current squat living quarters. The other characters, Mike, a idiotic, strange, random, unlucky, best friend of tim. Marsha, the self obsessed, emotionally scared alcoholic land- lady. Twist, the obsessive, ditzy liar and Brian, the weird, split personality, anguish artist tenant, all bring the roller coaster ride of a journey together with their different and some what clashing personalities.
Set in the urban location of North West London with the one main location of Tim and Daisy' shabby flat so that the audience can get to know where they are rather then being taken from one random place to another. With the multiple story arcs the audience will have a different narrative story line to watch every episode, with a start, middle and end, instead of one long running story line, this is so if a viewer misses a episode they can easily watch the next one and not feel confused.
with fast editing not normally seen in a comedy drama tv show, it will catch an audiences eye. Linking in with Tim's comic book life- style, we will have animation sequences throughout the series giving it that extra angle.
We also intend to add jump cuts, contemporary music and unusual camera angles for the audiences enjoyment.
With the mixing pot of emotions, enjoyment, drama and happiness that these characters will bring to the television screen, it will no doubt have a wide variety of audiences drawn in to watch it with not a hint of getting bored!
Hi Abbi, This is a good attempt. You detail a great deal about the story and the sense of the characters. Some things to think about: Remember you are SELLING the idea, so think about HOW you write. This synopsis currently reads a bit like a long list, as opposed to an engaging document. It makes the series feel dry, as opposed to fun and exciting. Think about using descriptive words. This is a fast paced series, use that approach in the writing. When describing characters, these are a little too long, make them sharper - so they jump off the page.
ReplyDeleteA synopsis doesn't talk about the audience, this is for the reader to decide who they think the audience are. Your ending sounds like a review. Don't tell us WHAT we will feel, tell us the creative elements, we can then decide how we think it will make us feel. Good effort overall and i feel confident you'll be able to deliver a good synopsis for The Meeting.
