Elements including basic story structure, world, continuing and guest characters and A & B storylines will be discussed in detail. Students will be assigned scene work from the programs screened, to be accomplished both in class and between sessions. Time permitting the class will, as a group, structure and write a ?spec? first act for one of the shows discussed.

Obsah kurzu:

COURSE OBJECTIVE:

To give students practical experience in writing for one hour dramatic television by illustrating the necessity of understanding and emulating a world and characters that are not of one?s own creation.

COURSE DESCRIPTION:

This is a new age in television drama. Many programs are now built on full season arcs as opposed to stand alone episodes where the good guy catches the bad guy and so forth. This course is designed to help students understand and emulate this increasingly popular form as well as developing an understanding of the basics that apply to all television programs.

Great television dramas are different than films as they are meant for a different purpose. The characters on television are watched in our homes. They are invited guests whom we look forward to greeting from the safety of our living rooms. Likewise the world they live in is a familiar and comfortable world for us to view. We understand the rules of that world. We know the place of most everything and everyone in that world. It?s this familiarity that makes television different than movies. And it is this difference that makes television writing unique.

There are exceptions, but most great television is written collaboratively by a staff of writers who are all intimately familiar with the show. And they all have one thing in common. They are able to emulate the ?voice? of the show. Stories and scripts are written by a number of different people, yet in the end the audience can?t tell the difference between them. For a screenwriter, an entirely new skill is needed to be successful in television. It is the ability to understand and emulate a world and characters that have been established by others.
