Once we have completed this period, agreed on fees and signed a contract, I will write and deliver the synopsis. </div> <bR> <div> <I>Synopsis</I></div> <div> The synopsis serves many purposes and contains many elements.  Most importantly it sets the tone for the entire project. The body of the synopsis will create the setting, establish the major characters and chart the general story.  Additionally, the synopsis will contain a logline whose purpose is to clarify direction and tone in one or two lines.  A logline for the “Godfather” might read: The youngest son of a Mafia family revenges the hit on his father and becomes the new Godfather. </div> <div> With the delivery of the synopsis, we will now have completed phase one. </div> <div> <I>Story Outline</I></div> <div> Phase two is in effect a detailed map of where and when the story takes place and of course how the characters develop. At the end of this process, the narrative will be defined. Together we will have made crucial adjustments that will be reflected in the completed and delivered story outline. </div> <div> <I>Step Outline</I></div> <div> The step outline is key to the success of the screenplay. The step outline contains a concise description of<B> </b>every scene in the movie. A typical movie has about 40-60 scenes. This is the last stage before we write the screenplay. </div> <div> <I>Screenplay</I></div> <div> I will use the step outline as a guide. However, some changes are possible during the process because screenwriting is a creative act. Consultations with the client will precede any major changes. </div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div> <A HREF="id64.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="_"><U><B>Schedule of fees for feature length screenplays.</b></U></A></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
