SYNOPSIS ANALYSISTAMIRA BELLO

QUESTION 1EVALUATIONI THOUGHT THAT ALL OF 100% OF THE AUDIENCE WOULD BE ABLE TO CLEARLY SEE WHAT THE WORLD, CHARACTER AND PROBLEM WAS IN MY SYNOPSIS. QUESTION 1: EXPLAIN THE WORLD, CHARACTER AND PROBLEM

In all 4 responses they answered differently when I was just expecting them to say a location, some spoke about location and some spoke of a metaphorical world.

All responses were accurate responses and makes it clear that they could tell who my main character was which shows that I showed it clearly.Some said that the problem was her being transgender and others said the problem was her coming out to her dad, this shows I need to translate more that the issue is about my character coming out to people rather than them thinking the problem is being transgenderThese results showed my hypothesis was not correct and people view

the world of the character differently. They all got the main character correct but they had different views on what the problem is.

QUESTION 2 ANALYSIS

I assumed that 100% of my results would say that Chloe my main character was the main point of view. of my synopsis as I tried to show this by her emotions and by following her actions through out the whole thing.

All of my responses agreed that my synopsis shows that the POV is from my main character.One response said that slightly clear, this has made me re evaluate my synopsis to patch up places to make it more clear.

Who’s POV is the story told from? Is this clear? How?

QUESTION 3 ANALYSIS

Two of the responses said that it is centered around Chloe’s feelings whilst the other said it is about how she is going to open up to her father. I need to find a way to make it clear that the problem is about how she doesn't’t know how to tell any body and how everyone just assumes but nobody realizes.

I thought everyone would think that opening up to people and her father about her gender

Is the main problem the heart of the film? Explain

To make this more clear I need to add more moments with other people that highlights the mis understanding that Chloe has so often.

QUESTION 4 ANALYSIS

I thought all of my responses would say that my protagonists motivation was to try and find her real self which drives to open up to people.My responses mostly said that the drive to be and find herself and to become male was her motivation, whilst one said the thing that motivated her to open up.Although it is correct that the fact she could confide in ted helped her open up, I want to make it clear that the motivation through out the synopsis is the want to be male and the want to be accepted for how she is.

Explain what motivates your protagonist

QUESTION 5 ANALYSIS

I assumed that people would find shopping for prom dresses a familiar ritual or at least shopping if they didn't go to prom. I was proved correct when all my responses said shopping was a familiar ritual.

All responses recognized the familiar seeing as being at home and some found the shopping establishment as a familiar setting. It is good I have been able to fit in settings that the audience can relate to and that they notice that.

Any familiar settings and familiar rituals?

QUESTION 6 ANALYSIS

I was expecting my responses to say that they thought the single event to be when she has her make over with Ted

Only one response noticed that was the part I wanted to be the biggest impact

By getting these results it showed me that I need to be more descriptive and more obvious about the fact that the makeover scene is meant to be the most hard hitting section of the piece.

Does the story encompass a single moment/event? Describe it.

QUESTION 7 ANALYSIS

I expected people to say that the stakes were high enough as I believe that they are because by Chloe wanted to reveal this secret it puts her at danger of being rejected, bullied and could affect her life.

The responses all could see that the stakes were high enough because of the risk she is taking as no one can actually predict how people are going to react.

Are the stakes high enough? Explain

QUESTION 8 ANALYSIS

It translated two different meanings to the audience which were in short terms, “be yourself” and “to accept people how they are.

These are the two messages I was attempting to translate.

I wanted “be yourself” to be the message I wanted everyone to see so I need to emphasize the sadness that she was in before she could become what she wanted to be and how happy she was after her makeover.

Is there at least one clear message that the audience could take away? What is it?

QUESTION 9 ANALYSIS

I expected them to see that I could shoot this film on a zero budget as I barely require anything that isn’t part of my already hoe furniture or anything I own

Although I may need to spend minimal money to buy a wig and print out some pictures in order to stare cutting real hair and to make it look realistic and the pictures to make the story line clearer.

Is this film doable on a zero budget?
