Premise (filmmaking)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- For other uses, see premise
The premise of a film or screenplay is the fundamental concept that drives the plot.
Most premises can be expressed very simply, and many films can be identified simply from a short sentence describing the premise. For example: A lonely boy is befriended by an alien; A small town is terrorized by a shark; A small boy sees dead people.
