Publisher's Synopsis
Recent years have brought forth a great change to storytelling structure in films and television. It is a little secret that one of the major changes has been the outflow of creative writing talent from films to television. But within the television industry, there have also been revolutionary changes. While we watch the results of this change each day in the new so-called "golden age" of television, few are aware of the emerging structural changes in stories underlying this change. Learning about these changes is essential for those desiring to write this new series of structured stories. And, learning about these changes might also tell us a good deal about broad cultural, psychological, and historical trends in the modern world.
This Writing The Pilot Book is about addressing the changes that have overtaken the TV business - and more importantly, have overtaken TV storytelling. The author talks about all the changes I listed above, and how they may - how they must - affect your pilot.
