After establishing a definite idea for the opening sequence, we were asked to come up with a synopsis. We came up with a possible back story or given circumstance which gives the audience a reason as to why the main protagonist is the way she is.
The story is set in 17th century England, a time when Catholicism ruled. The main protagonist is a girl between the ages of 16 and 20. She is of Irish nationality living in England and is very beautiful with red hair and bright green eyes. Intimidated and frightened by her beauty and intelligence and the fact that her father mysteriously dissappeared, leaving her alone, the other villagers accuse her of being a witch and abuse her, throwing rocks at her when she walks down the street. Tormented by this cruel treatment, the girl decides to isolate herself from the rest of the world, building a metaphorical wall around herself.
This is not necessarily our definite idea for our synopsis. It is work in progress and just one way in which the audience can interpret the sequence.
