Turn your idea for an original TV series into a solid, working premise with "legs" to sustain itself over multiple seasons. Be guided step-by-step through the process of developing strong 'story engines', building out the 'world' of your show, story construction and the ofter overlooked art of outlining.
Learn how to:
- Create compelling, multi-dimensional characters that we'll want to watch season after season.
- Construct engaging plots and artfully weave them together.
- Make the logic and motivations in your stories airtight.
- Structure scenes to deliver their maximum dramatic/comedic punch.
- Write dialogue that crackles with authenticity and avoids cliche.
In this workshop, you will write a good chuch (or all*) of your script. You will also receive feedback on your work every week from a professional TV writer and 2-3 times from the entire group. Learn to master the principles of dramatic/comedic structure so that you'll be able to develop your future ideas into full-fledged TV shows and develop strategies for getting into "the business".
*While Pilot I classes emphasize developing the world of your shown and it's structure, it is possible for an especially motivated student to complete a draft of their script over the course.
