WRITING THE TELEVISION PILOT

This course provides a foundational understanding of the key elements of TV pilot writing, from the establishment of theme and tone, to the utilization of five-act structure and effective use of scene transitions. Through the process of story breaking, beat sheet creation, and outline writing, each participant will develop their own original pilot, culminating in the completion of a first working draft. Emphasis will be placed on character development, effective dialogue, world building, story conflict, and plot reversal.
