Development of ideas and synopsis

Earlier this week me and my partner discussed and developed some of our basic ideas for our own trailer project. We decided to stick with the action/adventure genre, as this seemed realistic and achievable and we had some good ideas for this area. We have decided to base our film on missing persons cases. We want our story to follow the experience of a single person and that of their family and loved ones to add action, emotional interest and drama to the story.

This is the synopsis we developed from our ideas:
Based loosely on the disappearances of many people each year, our story will follow the fictional disappearance of an individual and their experiences and trauma as well as the experience of their family and loved ones. It will follow the detective process and methods used to search for this individual and the workings of the authorities on all missing persons cases. Giving an insight into this very real phenomenon.

Although we have developed quite a wide synopsis our trailer will not follow all aspects of the story as the limited time available to make maximum impact would make it unadvisable to include too much. Instead we will focus on the more exciting chase and action influences to gain interest and make a more memorable and intense teaser trailer. The phrase in bold will be the synopsis or focus for our trailer as opposed to the whole film.
