Create Gripping TV Characters
Friday, August 2, 2019 @ 9:00 am - 10:30 am
In this crowded field of content, we can be hooked by a quippy line, action, and amazing visuals, but what makes us really lean in? The characters.
Unforgettable character work can make your sample stand out. It can make an exec buy a pitch in the room, make an actor take the role in your series, and make an audience tune in each week. That’s why creating a unique, complex and compelling character to anchor your television series is one of the most important things (if not the most important thing) to focus on when developing a pitch or writing a pilot.
In this workshop, you’ll learn how to develop a three-dimensional human being instead of just an archetype when you’re writing your main character. Leave with an understanding of how to create memorable, active characters with strong needs, wants, motivation, and drive so that audiences fall in love with them and invest in their journey.
