Existing Synopses of films

London To Brighton



The picture opens with two women on the lam: middle-aged hooker Kelly, whose battered face discloses a recent thrashing, and the preteen Joanne . While the two board a train bound from London to Brighton in the middle of the night, the vile thug Stuart Allenorders Kelly's pimp, Derek, to deliver the two women within 24 hours. Kelly, it seems, originally supplied Derek with runaway Joanne to satisfy the request of a client, Duncan, for underage girls. Duncan later turned up dead, and now Kelly is a prime suspect.

Seven


The film concerns Det. William Somerset, a homicide specialist just one week from a well-deserved retirement. Every minute of his 32 years on the job is evident in Somerset's worn, exhausted face, and his soul aches with the pain that can only come from having seen and felt far too much. But Somerset's retirement must wait for one last case, for which he is teamed with young hotshot David Mills , the fiery detective set to replace him at the end of the week. Mills has talked his reluctant wife, Tracy, into moving to the big city so that he can tackle important cases, but his first and Somerset's last are more than either man has bargained for. A diabolical serial killer is staging grisly murders, choosing victims representing the seven deadly sins. First, an obese man is forced to eat until his stomach ruptures to represent gluttony, then a wealthy defence lawyer is made to cut off a pound of his own flesh as penance for greed. Somerset initially refuses to take the case, realizing that there will be five more murders, ghastly sermons about lust, sloth, pride, wrath, and envy presented by a madman to a sinful world. Somerset is correct, and something within him cannot let the case go, forcing the weary detective to team with Mills and see the case to its almost unspeakably horrible conclusion.
Saw
One of two men chained up in a mysterious chamber. The other, Dr. Gordon, like Adam, has no idea how either of them got there. Neither of them is led to feel optimistic by the man lying between them dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Together, Adam and Dr. Gordon attempt to piece together what has happened to them and who the sadistic madman behind their imprisonment is.

Analysis of Exisiting Synopeses
Out of the three synopses, London to Brighton would be the most suited for our flim genre. This is because our film will be based around crime , also this helped us create our own synopsis for our film also. The other two synopses helped marginally, however , these movies seb-genres do not suit our film.
