ENGL 308 - Screenwriting: The Television Pilot


This class will introduce students to writing for television, with a focus on creating the first episode of an original television series. From HBOs Game of Thrones to Amazons Transparent, the range of whats possible in this format is wide. We will work on pitches, loglines, outlines, breaking story and finally writing the entire pilot. We will cover acts, structure and other conventions of the industry. Students will be expected to write and polish either a half-hour comedy or a one-hour drama script, with a focus on creating pilots that are, in fact, first episodes in longer narrative arcs (story engine).
