Writing For Tv - 2014 Screenwriters World Conference Session - Audio - |
"To launch a professional television writing career, many screenwriters turn to spec scripts of successful current shows. What most writers don ™t know is that their spec must go far beyond merely dialogue that fits the characters and plot. In order for a spec to catch the attention of producers, it must not only rise above all other specs, but also be more memorable, compelling and entertaining than most of the show ™s actual produced episodes. They need to also come up with original stories which somehow both fulfill the basic premise and characteristics of the show they ™ve written for, and also break new ground in some way. In this recorded conference session, writers will learn the key elements to a successful �episodic spec, � including how to choose the right kind of show to spec, how to identify great story ideas for a spec, and common pitfalls in this process -- as well as and notes on the business realities in the TV staffing world, from"

Story Engineering: Mastering The 6 Core Competencies Of Successful |
"The vast majority of writers begin the storytelling process with only a partial understanding where to begin. Some labor their entire lives without ever learning that successful stories are as dependent upon good engineering as they are artistry. But the truth is, unless you are master of the form, function and criteria of successful storytelling, sitting down and pounding out a first draft without planning is an ineffective way to begin. Story Engineering starts with the criteria and the architecture of storytelling, the engineering and design of a story--and uses it as the basis for narrative. The greatest potential of any story is found in the way six specific aspects of storytelling combine and empower each other on the page. When rendered artfully, they become a sum in excess of their parts. You'll learn to wrap your head around the big pictures of storytelling at a professional level through a new approach that shows how to combine these six core competencies which include: Fou"
