Pilot Webinar Slides – These are the slides that were used in the webinar.
Breakdowns & Templates (ZIPPED FILE) – This file contains the following:
- CSI:NY Breakdown (Season 5, Episode 22) – This is a very clean Teaser/4 Acts breakdown of an EPISODIC show.
- NCIS Breakdown (Season 5, Episode 7) – One of the most popular shows on broadcast, this episode uses a Teaser/5 Act structure. Even though we didn’t discuss during the webinar, the 5 Act format is perfectly acceptable if you feel it will work better for your idea, and doesn’t differ from the 4 Act template in any appreciable way, except to split Act 1 of the 4 Act template into two parts.
- BREAKING BAD Breakdown (Season 1, Episode 6) – Some of the best writing on TV, this is an excellent example of a SERIALIZED show. You’ll see it follows the Teaser/4 Act structure but with heavy character development which you can do more freely in a serialized show than in an episodic series.
