TV Writing On Demand: Creating Great Content in the Digital Era
takes a deep dive into writing for today's audiences, against the
backdrop of a rapidly evolving TV ecosystem. Amazon, Hulu and
Netflix were just the beginning. The proliferation of everything
digital has led to an ever-expanding array of the most authentic
and engaging programming that we've ever seen. No longer is there a
distinction between broadcast, cable and streaming. It's all
content. Regardless of what new platforms and channels will emerge
in the coming years, for creators and writers, the future of
entertainment has never looked brighter. This book goes beyond an
analysis of what makes great programming work. It is a master
course in the creation of entertainment that does more than meet
the standards of modern audiences-it challenges their expectations.
Among other essentials, readers will discover how to: Satisfy the
binge viewer: analysis of the new genres, trends and how to make
smart initial decisions for strong, sustainable story. Plus, learn
from the rebel who reinvented an entire format. Develop iconic
characters: how to foster audience alignment and allegiance, from
empathy and dialogue to throwing characters off their game, all
through the lens of authenticity and relatability. Create a
lasting, meaningful career in the evolving TV marketplace: how to
overcome trips, traps and tropes, the pros and cons of I.P.; use
the Show Bible as a sales tool and make the most of the plethora of
new opportunities out there. A companion website offers additional
content including script excerpts, show bible samples, interviews
with television content creators, and more.
