The Nigerian movie market is full of melodramas. Why can't we have more action movies and intelligent comedies? |

This is not much of a synopsis, it doesnt say much, all it does is play around with words, it;s more like a poetry piece than a synopsis, a synopsis is and should be sorta like a mini hook that makes your potential buyer want to buy your script or make a potential reader read your script, it shouldnt be vague and at the same time it shouldn't be too revealing, why don't you try rewriting your synopsis without sounding melodramtic like the last poster said, Why limit yourself to a less than 50k figure, if you are half as good as you say you are then who knows how much someone might be willing to pay for your script, |

If the script is worth 50K, nothing wrong with admitting that. But is it worth 50k? |

Indeed! Not that i think many of the movies have a distinctive genre. They seem to roll everything into one, with romance taking the dominant role. This is what i remember from my fleeting glimpse into nollywood movies. Might have changed but from various readings, i doubt that. |

i quite agree with iice,but there is alwaya a room for improvement |

I had posted the topic and mission accomplished, all but forgotten about it, so I was pleasantly surprised when I logged on and saw the feedbacks. I had actually gotten a producer and we are presently working with the director to put finishing touches to the shooting draft. @Robbie Lex I admit you made a very good point in my limiting myself with the 50k, but truth be told, I’d only added that to serve as a benchmark. Besides, the main priority here is to get a launch pad to show how good you are. For a public forum like this, I think what I put up should serve its purpose, which is: whet appetites to write and demand for more. And it did. Thanks all the same.Thanks all the same. @ Seun, I’d hoped my topic wouldn’t attract your attention. I’m flattered that it did. And one of the many reasons why we are not yet ready for Action movies is that it still only in Nollywood that you see a 5-minute car shoot-out and after the whole shots, bros watch well, no glass go break! So until we have the SFX to convincingly pull of the stunts, I tell you, the best bet is to weave a thrilling plot around your everyday Nigerian family. And believe me Oga seun, the market for good melodramas (I think you meant family dramas), are grossly underexploited. And if you think the market is full of melodramas please tell me what you will call the bulk of Hollywood films. On comedy, while I think a sitcom is a brave attempt, to most Nigerians (I mean the Nollywood patrons) the notion of comedy is simply split between Opa Williams’ night of a thousand laughs (or its many knock offs), and aki and paw-paw Onitsha productions and their likes. Like I earlier said, it is laudable, but I doubt the commercial sustainability of a sitcom on TV now with the prevalence of Mexican soaps. |

edetcnn: DUDE, GET A LIFE! GET A JOB! What do you mean by all that? YOU SHOULD GO INTO MUSIC OR SOEMTHING, I AM SURE YOU ARE GOING TO MAKE IT. BUT AS FOR MOVIES, FORGET ABOUT IT. YOU ARE WHACK, YOU ARE A QUACK! Do something with your life and time and stop fantasizing about money and movies. AND IF I WAS A PRODUCER, I WOULD NOT EVEN COME CLOSE TO THAT POEM YOU CALL A SCRIPT SYNOPSIS |
