Script Analysis ~ Readers Class - May 17th

This class gives a solid grounding in script analysis, how to break down stories, characters, and dialogue, what to look for, and how to create constructive criticism.

Reading and analyzing scripts is one of the best ways to improve your writing! It’s so much easier to see glaring problems and brilliant writing in work that is not your own – and once you see it and know what to look for, you can apply it to your own scripts.

Writers summit with Paramount! - COMEDY WRITING

Recently I had the honour of being invited to Paramount HQ in London, for a screenwriters summit, where I met with many amazing writers and distributors for networks tied to Paramount such as Comedy Central, Nickelodeon, MTV, Channel 5, Milkshake and more!

One of the speakers was a woman who worked in Distrubution for Comedy Central and MTV, and from her, I picked up a bunch of helpful information about the process of getting your work picked up, and I thought I'd share! This is particularly helpful if you're interesting in writing comedy!

★ - when you send through your scripts and pitches, it'll be in there with a lot of others. They will have a designated script reader who's job is to read everything that gets sent in, and they will select the ones that have the most likely chance to get picked up. These will get sent off to commissioners.

★ ‐ channels like CC and MTV are always looking for fresh and new voices and characters. If you think something is too different, send it anyway! You never know.

★ - there are SO many reasons why certain works get rejected. I.e. shift in budget, or similar ideas are already in the works. It's not always because the ideas aren't good.

★ - with this in mind, do not let go of rejected ideas. They will likely remain on file. So it doesn't mean no permanently. It just means not now.

TIPS FOR GETTING INTO WRITING COMEDY

★ - writing sketches is a great way to get into comedy writing! (I personally recommend brandon rogers' comedy sketches, but for something more tame, asian parent AI with Uncle Rogers is a good one!)

★ - punch up scripts are good! this just means filling it with jokes upon jokes (1 joke per page at the least)

★ - "ck" sounds are funny! (fuck, duck, shuck[s], etc etc)

★ - funny/unexpected words at the end of lines are likely to get more laughs.

HOW TO CREATE GOOD PITCHES

★ - usually a good pitch will already have talent attached to it, i.e an actor that is known, a writer (or co writer) that is known. It makes the process easier if there is a known name attached to your pitch.

★ - distinctiveness is key. Make something that stands out. Something you don't often see. Something that the scriptreaders and commissioners are likely to remember.

★ - personally connect with your characters! make them relatable to you. People love seeing relatable characters, so write them.

★ - authenticity. Write something authentic to you. Write about your ethnicity, your culture, your experiences, the people in your life. It makes it more distinctive to write comedy about something that isn't a standard white american sitcom.

★ commissioners and scriptreaders can ALWAYS tell when somebody isn't connected or authentic to the background, stories, or characters they've written.

I hope this was helpful! These were all tips given by a commissioner and writer for Comedy Central and MTV!

Oliver smiled as he arrived for his first day as an official member of the Kalos League, the younger trainer was practically buzzing with excitement as he entered the league, though there was a bit of confusion with the receptionist thinking he was a challenger it was all cleared up when he showed her the email about his becoming an elite 4 member. She showed him to the room that challengers would face him in and said that she would inform champion Diantha that the new hire had arrived

She smells a male human. She doesn't recognise this one. Or trust him.

"Amé, take him to the break rooms. Be nice, and come back to me. I'm busy. New guy, Meet Amé. She's going to drop you off with the others."

Not her problem now. She's off to finish her scriptreading.

Feeling the #ActorsLife vibes today! 🎭 I'm excited to share a scene I performed "ice cold" at Brian Cutler Actors' Studio 🌟 Major shout out to them for emphasizing the importance of cold reading skills, it truly is a game-changer! 🙌

In this scene, I was reading with my talented classmate, Sarahbeth (off camera), who stepped in for my regular scene partner, the brilliant Jill Cutler. 🎬👥

Trust me, diving into a character without prior preparation pushes you to connect with the script, the moment, and the partner on a whole different level! 💫 Check out the video and see how it went!

How do you feel about cold reading? Any tips or experiences to share? Comment below, let's chat! 🗣️✨
