Film is a continuous collection of moving images between one another. The film in its natural state is something that continues to be in a state of flux, from the point and place and time he can not be frozen for the sake of analysis. When it is frozen, it is no longer a living image, because its unique nature as a medium is thus completely gone.

Movie images do not have volume, but are realized as a reality because of the motion elements present in them. Such illusion can arise strongly not only because of the magnitude of objectivity contained in the cinematographic statement, but also on the activity of the audience itself in presupposing the various thoughts and motivations that reside in the witnessed images.

Good films always create the illusion that the events in the movie take place within a definite time limit longer than the time we watch. That in the event there are beginning, development and end, and have a certain period (Peransi, 2005).

As a form of art, film is the same as other artistic media, because it has the basic properties of other media that are intertwined in its diverse array. Film is something unique, different from all other media. This is because it is moving freely and permanently. Movies have the ability to take the point of view of motion, time. Movies communicate through visual images as well as real sound.

Film is not only unlimited in the subject area, but also the way of approach in the material. Movies are able to animate the entire human spectrum, ranging from the softest, smooth, fragile, beautiful to the rough and cruel.

The important thing that should be in a movie is the flavor delivered through a movie. The source of this flavor lies in the visible currents, sound currents and motion currents contained in this medium, all of which are cinematic capital, capable of making everything that appears on the screen as if it were going on at the same time and making the audience completely immersed in the illusion of being on display.

What is your shadow of the story I wrote in the introduction? A very brief story that poses a very mild conflict. We have also discussed conflict as an important element for the flow of a story. You will see many loopholes to be scrutinized in the story above. Just keep your critics for a moment because we will not discuss the conflict again. We will discuss the synopsis. What exactly is Synopsis?

Synopsis is a story summary. Stories that may be very long are summarized in such a way as to be very short. Synopsis as a short story in its writing also noticed the basic elements in the story. There is a main character, is experiencing what and how he overcame his problem. What is the function of writing synopsis? As a summary of the story, the synopsis has a function to give an overall picture of the whole story. Usually a synopsis is created before the scenario. Before entering the writing scenario is usually synopsis will be dissected out of many sides. Is the conflict strong enough? Make sense? Too forced? From this synopsis we can see many weaknesses in the story so that when writing the script later will be very easy.

In some ways synopsis is indispensable in the creative process of the scriptwriter. Synopsis is the center of idea development. As a parable, the synopsis is like a map of a vast territory. By reading the map we will not get lost. By looking at the synopsis we will be able to keep the story that we will stream off or not.

Writing synopsis is easy. Too short the fear is not “nyampe”, but if the extension of his name is not a synopsis. Some producers also rely heavily on synopsis because by synopsis they can get a complete picture of the story they will produce. If the conflict is not strong then they will think a thousand times to produce it. Are you ready to create a synopsis? I remind you again, the synopsis as a story must contain the basic elements of a story. In a synopsis can also be delivered dialogues, which dialogue is a key dialogue that will be developed further in the writing scenario.

Plato was the first man to fuss about what an IDE was. This Greek philosopher defines the idea as an imperfect experience. Let me help to understand Plato’s thinkers about the IDE. Have you ever been on a trip? Call it to Jakarta, you only have 50 thousand, answer the following questions, ride the bus? Or travel? Can you go home? Your answers are imperfect experiences. With 50 thousand money it seems we will not be able to go back Jakarta-Bandung but strike my friend’s experience. He boarded the train without a ticket, while checking the ticket he bribed the conductor with 5 thousand. He arrived in Jakarta, then took the bus to block M. There he met his friend, the matter was settled and then he returned to bandung. I’m sure if you are not a desperate person like my friend, what my friend did was a bad idea. Still complicated my explanation? But I am sure you begin to understand.

The IDE requires a trigger and the only trigger is the destination. You want to make a song, already 3 days you genjreng-genjreng not known. Suddenly there is a small child ring a can and you start smiling then start lancer making songs. Often IDEs are needed as a god who just dropped off without a purpose. IDEs will not just come. Looking at my friend’s experience, a quiet night, he could not sleep, he suddenly grabbed the guitar and took a recorder and then a song. Is the IDE coming all of a sudden? NO. My friend is a musician, everyday making songs, the purpose of his life is music, whatever and whenever the idea came to be a song. Like me, an author, anything in front of me will trigger my IDE. Define your purpose and you will get an IDE.

Formulating goals is a very difficult thing. You want to create a post. You’ve formulated your goal, a great start. But after hours you do not succeed too write, what happened? Your formula is too wide, what writing do you want to make? Short story? Novel? Or Articles? After you think for a moment, you decide to make a short story. But again after hours you can not write. What happened? Your formula is still wide. Short story about what? Suddenly your friend looking for a match with anger, consequently the whole house became very grabbing. You smile and decide to write a short story about a smoker’s house that ran out of matches. Cigarettes is the theme of your short story. So, THEMA is a short description of your purpose. I’m sure you’ve started itching to write.

The premise is what I want to say. The premise is the heart of the story. By formulating the premise, the story will not widen anywhere. The premise is a story conclusion. My boring travel story above will become more boring if I do not have a premise. The circumstances and situations in the bus are just introductions to the premise. I could have told you about 60 passengers on the bus who all slept. The result is predictable, very unattractive. The premise is the focus. Have you ever taken a picture? If not all focus becomes blur or unclear. Think carefully, determine your goals or themes, then set the focus of your story or premise.

Once you get a premise there’s more you have to do ie create a strategy to make your story interesting. This strategy can be by exposing a conflict early and explaining it later. Or you want to create a frame, story in story, like my story above. It’s up to you. This strategy is often referred to as a story or plot story. Grooves like meaning in campus which means road or path, can be long, can be short or twist, up to you. Clear? Oh not clear? Look, one day you come a friend who wants to know the ins and outs of Bali. What do you do to make your friends happy? First you try to make a list of places that are comfortable to visit. After that you design a trip with a comfortable vehicle and the selection of paths that you think already represent the beauty of the island of Bali with one goal to make your friends happy. All you do is strategy. All your options are strategy. But not all strategies can run is not it?

In short, creating a path means defining the starting point of the story, making the storyline flow well and finding the ending point. What are you telling me? It all depends on you. Consider everything. Just like you think of your friend’s journey. The plot contains possibilities that we can make and everything is possible. Just think about your journey, I’m sure there will be many possibilities that you can get from the trip.
