Film and Television

A local film festival needs a short synopsis (150–300 characters) for its brochure of a film or series you know or invent. Say who directed it and who stars in it, set up the story without giving away the ending, and say who will enjoy it.

  • Film vocabulary: 导演, 主演, 讲述, 镜头, 节奏, 观众
  • 讲述了…的故事 with a long 的 clause for the main character
  • 时而…时而… or 要么…要么…
  • A hook that doesn't reveal the ending

Pick with a tap, a number key or Space. A Chinese keyboard on your device works in the box below too.
