Spaced Synopsis!
‘Spaced’, is your classic “guy meets girl” but with extra bite, a difference!
The lead character Tim, an aspiring comic book artist, spends most of his time dossing, smoking weed and playing video games; so it comes as no surprise he is somewhat child like!
Tim meets Daisy in a busy café one day where due to lack of seats they have no option but to share a table, Daisy lives in a squat that she is desperate to get out of! Daisy is a quirky, trippey, highly emotional character but she is very likeable. They soon realise that they are stronger together than apart and together stumble upon a genius idea to set up a fake relationship in order to rent a flat together, so with their brilliant plan in action they somehow manage to secure an interview for a flat where they manage to pull the wool over the eyes of there soon to be land lady Marsha, but how long will the wool stay over her eyes?
Marsha is a loopy, odd, alcoholic who Tim and Daisy think maybe be sleeping with their new neighbour Brian who is an artist with a split personality; who instead of using conventional watercolours for his work he opts for blood! This makes him quite weird and he comes across as very serious. And of course not forgetting Tim’s best mate Mike who is ex-army - or is he? He definitely talks the talk but not sure if he’s ever walked the walk as Mike is prone to bullshitting and is very immature. One of Tim and Mikes pastimes is having imaginary gun fights with each other hence Mike may not be as trigger happy as he makes out!
Set in an urban, shabby flat, you never know what’s going to happen next with its dry/black humour, loveable characters, unusual camera angles, comic strip animation features and pop-culture references from Scooby Doo to Jurassic Park
Hi Dean,
ReplyDeleteVery good first attempt at a synopsis. It reads on whole very nicely, sparkling in some places. Its always important to make a synopsis an enjoyable read, like a short story in itself, which you have - setting up questions but not always providing the answers. A few points to look at; don't use exclamation marks (!). In places its a little too loose and "matey". Don't use terms like "It's your classic..." term. Right it so the reader concludes themselves that its a classic story. A little more detail required in what the story is and theme. Nice character descriptions though. the ending goes a little flat.
Good work though and I look forward to your meeting synopsis.
