Sitcoms are hard. You're introducing a premise, world, and characters to an audience that isn't yet invested. In this Webinar, we will look at Season 1 episode outlines from NEW GIRL (network single-cam), 2 BROKE GIRLS (network multi-cam), and DETROITERS (cable single-cam), with a focus on their story structures.
You will see that these shows, with their different audiences and styles of comedy, are telling very similar and very SIMPLE stories. These stories will serve as a basis for your pilot, freeing you up to focus on characters and jokes and the things that'll make your script feel uniquely yours!
The goal here is simplifying; when you see the bones of a half-hour comedy show, we think you'll find pilots aren't actually so hard.
This 75-Min. Webinar Covers:
- Learn what act breaks are and where they go
- Deconstruct the sitcom structure
- Real examples from existing shows will be used to highlight the lecture
- Learn the three key steps your protagonist needs to go through
