Difference between synopsis and executive summary?

Answer 1

Summary: ======== A summary or recap is a shortened version of the original. The main purpose of such a simplification is to highlight the major points from the genuine (much longer) subject, e.g. a text, a film or an event. The target is to help the audience get the gist in a short period of time. Synopsis: ======= A brief summary of the major points of a written work, either as prose or as a table; an abridgment or condensation of a work. It is the Summary of a story told in present tense. A brief outline or general view, as of a subject or written work; an abstract or a summary. -SK-
