520 $a"Navigating through the challenging process of writing a comedy pilot, this book will help screenwriters to create an original script for television. Seasoned TV writer Manny Basanese defines the elements of a strong comedy pilot and provides perspectives from current TV sitcom pros as well as emerging new comedy voices. Practical and accessible, the book presents a step-by-step process and focuses on the key elements of writing a comedy pilot. Incorporating both the history of TV comedy as well as its current evolving state in this age of the dramedy and an ever-increasing variety of broadcast and streaming platforms, the book will serve as a guide for the fledgling sitcom scribe. Author Basanese breaks down the comedy pilot writing process from what may be perceived as an overwhelming, time-consuming mission into a series of much more manageable, smaller steps (from logline to outline to first, second and polished draft.) Utilizing his experience in Hollywood's sitcom trenches, the author offers real-world advice on such topics as building the comedy pilot "world," creating memorable comic characters, sound sitcom structure, and the importance of crafting an emotional through line in a comedy pilot. Finally, there is also a practical career guidance for marketing this just completed script and breaking into the industry with advice on various topics such as the value of networking as well as gaining representation in the competitive Hollywood jungle. Ideal for students of screenwriting and aspiring comedy screenwriters"--$cProvided by publisher.
