Document Summary
Television narrative form: types of prime-time scripted narrative series. If writing episodic, want to close up loose threads, if serial leave threads open: basic premise (or story engine) formula for scripted tv narrative, character. = action and/or laughter: have to also script in ad breaks, *scene = a segment of plot action that takes place in 1 time and/or space. 3-act structure: act i protagonist in tree, act ii throw things at her, act iii get her down. 4-act structure: act i protagonist in tree, act ii throw things at her, act iii set tree on fire ix. [serial] or bother [episodic serial]: tag (optional): final comment or epilogue, tv written in a group, in contrast to films which are written by 1 person. Carmichael show (our episode) example not as many scenes because multi-cam, so longer scenes: premise/story engine formula for scripted tv narrative, different characters all trying to get along.
