What I learned doing this assignment…..Sequence of Titles Tells A Story. I never considered that as part of a marketing strategy for the Pitch Bible. Here are the Episode Titles I have so far:
Title: Killer Job
Logline: Thirteen candidates compete for an enigmatic corporate job at a remote desert location but when one of them is found dead, everybody has something to hide, nobody is who they say they are and a half-million annual is at stake!
Episode 1.1: Panic Button
Episode 1.2: Welcome to Nebularken
Episode 1.3: Hidden Room
Episode 1.4: Wolf in The Flock
Episode 1.5: The Most Likely Candidate
Episode 1.6: Panic Sets-In
Episode 1.7: The Mole Comes Out
Episode 1.8: Group Implosion
Episode 1.9: VP of Special Services
Episode 1.10: Nebularken’s Dark Secret

1.1 Harmful Intent
1.2 Her Most Sacred Secret
1.3 Speak No Evil
1.4 Trial and Error
1.5 Hear No Evil
1.6 Come to Her Defense

I am still working on these. I think better ones will pop in my head the more I tweak my episode synopses. Crossing fingers.

Marcus’ Episode Titles
I learned a good way to come up with interesting and relevant titles. In the past, I’ve unknowingly used some of these methods to find titles, but this will make it very much easier going forward.
Some of my titles still need a bit of work, but I was surprised how much easier it was with a guide to create them with:
Show Title: Modern Witchcraft
Episode 1: Love Thine Enemy…Then Kill Him
Episode 2: Leaders and Misleaders
Episode 3: Race for the Fountain of Youth
Episode 4: Old Friends and Their New Enemies
Episode 5: Where the Other Half Live
Episode 6: When Zombies Run Scared
Episode 7: The Hideous and the Blind
Episode 8: Rabbit Hole Revisited

Diana’s Episode Titles
What I learned: Looking at the sequence to tell a quick story was very helpful to me. It showed me one episode that was out of order and that I may want to end the season an episode sooner and open the second season with the current final episode. I ended up changing a few of the original episode titles, because I liked the newer titles better. Still a work in progress, but this is what I have so far:
Working Show Title: Meet the Kennedy’s (have eight others I’m sitting with)
Season 1: To Have and to Hold
Episode 1: Bedazzled and Bankrupt
Episode 2: Civil Disobedience
Episode 3: A Good Man Is Hard to Find
Episode 4: Peekaboo
Episode 5: Trial by Fire
Episode 6: Ghosted
Episode 7: Ten Steps Ahead
Episode 8: Shenanigans and Santeria
Episode 9: A House Divided
Episode 10 (might move to start Season 2): Old Flames and New Troubles

Episode 1.4 – Godparent
Episode 1.5 – Doubts and fears

Episode 1.8 – The death of the prodigies
Episode 1.9 – The legacy
Episode 1.10 – Human or angel?

What I learned–the idea of titles telling a story. Excellent. Also, in case anyone is reading these things, this lesson helped me sharpen up the Episode List, in part because of the concept of not repeating info already provided in earlier pages.
My episode titles:
Where’s Salva?
Things Keep Blowing Up
Salva/Salvation
Henna Gets a Call
I Remember You
What Experiment?
If I’m Not Here, Where Am I?
Not Going Anywhere
