This EPISODE: I want to show you how to answer this question: what is the world of your show?
You’ve thought about a series premise logline, but to really think about it, you had to make some decisions that need some thought:
There are a couple of common ways into a show:
Through characterThrough placeIf your logline is from the point of view of CHARACTER (think Breaking Bad and Walter White) you need to put them in a WORLD. And the World should be heightened, extraordinary.
If your logline is from the point of view of PLACE (think STAR TREK and the starship Enterprise) you need to populate it with interesting characters.
Remember–heightened emotion, high stakes!
Episodic Problems vs. Series Problems:
An Episodic Problem is one that comes up and is dispensed with within an episode.A Series Problem is a problem that continues through the life of the series, and rises and falls over many episodes.Look for Series Problems as you build out your world.
THIS WEEK'S HOMEWORK: Fill out the world of your show!
