 Synopsis A synopsis is a crucial element in media production, it provides a concise summary of any type of media. It conveys the core idea, storyline, and themes in a clear way, making it essential for pitching ideas and marketing for a film. It allows producers, directors, and writers to quickly understand the essence of a story before investing time and resources. A well crafted synopsis should be able to capture the main plot, characters, and conflict without unnecessary details, ensuring that the concept is communicated effectively. It is often used in funding proposals and script pitches, helping convince studios or investors to support a project. From a storytelling perspective, writing a synopsis helps streamline the plot and identify any weaknesses in the narrative. Here is a synopsis I constructed for our film; "A lazy teen oversleeps for his first date, scrambles in panic, recklessly arrives only to wake up and realize it was all a dream."

 Crew and Roles; 1. Zaid Aman: I will be acting the role of the protagonist in the film, minor filming role, and major role in editing  2. Ahmad Hussain (MY project partner):  he will be doing the majority of the filming, and a minor role in acting in some scenes with the flower boy, and minor role in.. 3. Brother: he is a friend of ours who was willing to play the role of the brother but wishes to remain anonymous, he will also be helping in filming the flower boy scenes as me and Ahmad both will be acting in those.

 Feedback: After showing the film to our teacher he told us the camerawork was excellent, the angles the shots and composition was good and the comedic affect landed, the music was fitting too. But he had 2 main critiques, first was that we hadn't used any voice overs as this was a convention of our genre, so we will be sure to add this in the final cut as it will also help us with the story telling, secondly he said the ending was not very fitting as it lacked continuity the story "just ends there" there is no reason for the viewer to keep on watching as the story has been completed basically. So we will be taking this advice and changing the part where he wakes up to something else with more suspense and reason for the viewer to want to keep watching

 This is our mood board for our film " Time before Valentine's day" 

 Updated Narrative Our story goes over the topic of a Valentines Date gone wrong. The scene is set with a boy sleeping in his messy room, we want to give the effect of this boy being lazy not only with work related things but all parts of life. He then wakes up and noticing how late he is to his first date starts rushing to get ready and leave. As he gets around his room tripping over obstacles in his way and rushing to find his clothes and wear them, each of these moments are building up anticipation for whats to come next. They also add the comedic value of the opening since all of these scenes will be exaggerated in a humorous way. As he then rushes outside he notices an unguarded bike, he looks around for an owner and not being able to locate one, in his desperation and frantic rush he gets on the bike and makes a getaway. Then as he remembers he needs flowers as he sees another person who looks like hes going on a date also (as he has flowers in his hand) he decides to zoom pa...

 This is the storyboard for our film "Time before Valentine's" 

 We will start day two with the waking up and bedroom scenes. These are all the shots from the start of the film. Here we will be using mainly Mid shots for the waking up scene, as the protagonist scrambles out of bed we will use pan and OTS shots of him running around the room finding his things and getting ready. After filming this we will move onto the final scene which will be of the protagonist waking up from the dream and dozing back off. This is my project partner Ahmad his role was recording the protagonist. He had fun during the planning. hen when the protagonist finally leaves his home, a point of view (POV) shot will be used to show him seeing the bike and getting on it. (Then the montage we will film on day 1 will play through) Then in this nearby park we will film some shots of the flower boy walking along on a pathway and the protagonist stealing the flowers from him and speeding off on his bike.
