Even with all the resources for learning screenwriting/TVwriting now avail, there doesn& #39;t seem to be a TVWriting 101 video showing writers how to break an episode of TV with cards. Pls direct me to one if I& #39;m wrong so I can direct folks to it when asked.
And if there indeed isn& #39;t one, and someone out there who can reach writers who know what they& #39;re doing and wants to make one, LMK how I can support you. I& #39;m starting to wonder if this might be a pretty simple instructional video that could save some effort and struggle.
I don& #39;t think it should be a secret or expensive to learn it. Nor do I think it& #39;s one size fits all. But sometimes when I& #39;m mentoring or answering questions I& #39;m wondering if having this basic vocabulary might be useful? I prefer to help people with several scripts, not beginners.
But at times, it seems like the process is obscured even for folks who have already spent a lot of elbow grease. When I teach my mock writers room for WIF and The Blacklist, it& #39;s often the entire room& #39;s 1st experience break down the break, not writing just from intuition.
Why not make it more accessible? Think it could give talent more of a chance to rise to the occasion?
Yay @GennHutchison & I are putting our heads together about this —on the other side of impending deadlines. More soon xx
