Synopsis...Finally

Now that we've finalised our decision on which story we are going to go with, we finalised our synopsis too...

...'An old has-been mime works his daily routine boring his audience with his old moves and his failing body. When a new rookie mime turns up with his fresh face and starts stealing the old timer’s audience. This won’t fly with the old mime, so he starts to sabotage the rookie mime’s act. The rookie then retaliates and they argue and fight in a miming style with great finesse and skill, using invisible things and great miming to try and get one up over each other. Until it escalates so much that the audience think it’s all an act. The two draw a bigger crowd together and soon realise that they work better as a team than they ever did apart. The Rookie has given the Old Timer a new lease of life, whilst he helps the Rookie with his green moves.'...

It is a lot longer than initially stated by the lecturers, but they seemed to be happy with it...personally I think it's pretty difficult to summarise a plot in 3 sentences.


Here are the synopsises that we developed and progressed from;


1. 'An old mime works his daily routine when a new kid on the block turns up and starts stealing his customers. This won;t fly with the old Mime so he starts to sabotage the young Mime's act, who retaliates. they argue and fight in a miming style with invisible things, until it escalates so much that the audience think it's all an act and cheer the two who unwittingly take a bow'


2. 'An old has-been mime works his daily routine boring his audience with his old moves and his failing body. When a new rookie mime turns up with his fresh face and starts stealing the old timer’s audience. This won’t fly with the old mime so they begin to fight in a miming style using invisible objects, until it escalates so much that the audience think it’s all an act. The two have drawn a bigger crowd and soon realise that they work better as a team than they ever did apart.'


3. 'An old has-been mime works his daily routine boring his audience with his old moves and his failing body. A new rookie mime turns up with his fresh face and starts stealing the old timer’s audience with his dazzling performance. This angers the old mime so much that he starts to sabotage the rookie mime’s act. The rookie enraged by this provoked attack that he retaliates, and they argue and fight in a miming style with great finesse and skill, using invisible things and great miming to try and get one up over each other. This battle escalates so much that the audience think it’s all and act. The two draw a large crowd and soon realise after their conflict they work better as a team than they ever did apart. The Rookie has given the Old Timer a new lease of life, whilst he helps the Rookie with his green moves.'
