The Photoplay (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The PhotoplayThe impression your synopsis makes upon the scenario editor who reads it determines to a large extent whether your plot merits consideration. The synopsis is written solely for the information of the editor and serves the purpose of apprizing him of your theme and the action incident to its unraveling. It may also be used in advertising the play, if produced.For obvious reasons the synopsis should be written after the plot has been completed and received final readjustments. It would manifestly be unwise to restrict the evolution of your theme to a brief summary which only describes it, and from which you should not feel at liberty to deviate, for the purpose of strengthening the action, as often as deemed desirable. While the theme is unraveling in the form of the plot, and its development is still fresh in your mind, an outline of the synopsis will suggest itself, but it is none the less important, and demands close study and frequent reconstruction.As in the construction of the plot, so in the writing of the synopsis, literary style is unimportant, and a strong, interesting description of the action is all that is required.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
