Television Production

Update #1. This is my first report completely dedicated to my story idea. I've made progress and now have an indefinite idea that I can work on and that could become something. Crawl Space A first-time buyer at a house viewing notices a small door that the estate agent refuses to acknowledge. Where will her curiosity lead her? The Plot A first-time buyer is being shown around a house. Walking into one of the bedrooms, the buyer notices a small door in the corner of the room. The seller tells her that it's nothing special but something draws the buyer in. The seller excuses themselves to take a phone call, and the buyer takes their chance. Opening the door on all fours, they crawl inside, and suddenly, the door slams behind them. As they bang on the door, calling for help, the seller walks back into the room. Still on the phone, the seller says "send the next one in" and hangs up. Characters The estate agent is a well-dressed 20-30 year old man. He ...

Fast Story Production. The Brief We have been tasked to create a short story with 3 different prompts: a photographer , a serial dater , and a train station . We have to focus on the who, what, where, why and when of the story and create a brief outline of the story to present to the class. The Idea A catfish (Lena Dunham) has been using a photos of an instagram model and old school friend, Michele Alves, on her dating profile for years, hiding her real identity from everyone she's spoken to. She finds a connection with Nick (Jason Sudeikis) whom she meets through the account and it's time to come clean, but what happens when she sees Michele at the same train station she's meeting her date at?

Everything is going to plan, until she hears "Alice?"...

The Beginning. Starting the Ideas For our first lesson we looked into the creation of a story and how an idea can be formed, taking a look at the 'ingredients' for a story and idea, and how that can eventually develop into a script. The starting point is 'The Meeting', and I've brainstormed a few very rough ideas that hopefully will expand into something more detailed over the next few days. From class I had already come up with 2 possible sets: a coffee shop, and a prison. The coffee shop set was easier to source and so I tried to think of a story that could fit into that scenario but struggled as I had already thought of a snippet of a story set in the prison idea: a son meets his criminal father for the first time and is ready to go in and hate him for what he did but ends up wanting to have more of a relationship with his father but has conflict from his mother who does dislike the father. My issue is I've struggled to think of how to create a realisti...
