The NYSL Weekend TV Pilot Intensive will give you a comprehensive overview of the structure and elements that combine to create a successful TV show (comedy or drama). Through lecture, exercises and discussion, the topics covered will include:
The various structures used in TV. And which structure will best suit the needs of your show.
How to pack your show with enough conflict to generate multiple seasons worth of fresh stories.
How to create compelling, multi-dimensional characters and design a dynamic cast.
The principles of effective plotting and captivating story construction.
How to write dialogue that crackles with authenticity.
Strategies for getting your pilot into the right hands once it’s done, and much more...
You will emerge from this Intensive with your idea much more fleshed out and clear plan for finishing your script.
Time will also be allocated for informal discussion about your project with the instructor, for those that would like it. And upon completion you will be eligible for The LAB.
