Providing a synopsis

AS I've said in the general guidelines for Q1a/1b, you should start by providing a brief summary of what you did at AS + A2. This needs to include a synopsis  a very brief outline of your narrative, which say something along the lines of
The opening two minutes of a new feature film, including titles, based around...
  • a period drama set in WW2, featuring the female protagonist receiving a letter from a uniformed soldier informing her of her lover's death
  • a rom-com showing a young office worker rushing to get out for work, and tripping himself up just as he spots what will be the love interest
  • a slasher featuring two friends making the deadly mistake of taking a shortcut through some woods, where one disappears, leaving his friend to try and make it back to safety
  • a horror movie inspired by The Ring in which our protagonist is seen confused and panicked, running out of a building; he appears to hallucinate an ominous female character
