TV PILOT CLASSES
PILOT SCREEN WRITING CLASS
The goal of this class is a collection of deftly written documents: treatment(s), character descriptions, episode scenarios, promo script, pilot script--the overall goal being a thoroughly thought through concept from beginning-to-end that can be read and defended in a pitch meeting, and to that end the student has complete access to all that The Comedy Lab and The iO West has to offer, including a live staged reading of the student's completed script during one of The Comedy Lab Live performances on any given Sunday evening. Here's how it shakes out week-to-week: a concisely written treatment composed of three separate descriptions of the students concept in the form of a log line, a paragraph and a page (1st week); a studied list of the proposed series' characters (2nd week); an equally studied list of at least six episode scenarios (3rd week); a two-to-three minute script designed to promo the concept of the show, as well as the outline for the pilot script (4th week); first half of the pilot script (5th week); second half of the pilot script (6th week); brutal rewrites (7th week); and, developing a business plan (8th week), all of which starts with the opportunity for the student to stage a reading of his or her pilot and solicit audience reactions during the before mentioned Comedy Lab Live on Sunday evenings from 8:30pm until 10pm in the ADT.
