Day 9 Assignments

[Linda Anderson]

Linda Anderson Presents Non-Stop Intrigue

What I learned doing this assignment is that it’s hard to keep these aspects of the bible from not being repetitious.

I went back through the elements and kept asking myself if I’d added the intrigue and interest. This allowed things to keep changing and hopefully, get better.

What I learned from doing this assignment is that taking lessons 8, 9, and 10 together as a whole and combining with 11, I was able to make everything much more interesting, maybe more intriguing. Although, there is much more to do and will be going back to this lesson again and again.

What I learned doing this assignment is that I can come up with more intriguing ways to write things, even when I think I’ve already done it.

This assignment definitely added more intrigue and fixed some the problems. I also feel that it needs a really good edit.

Avi Kapurala Presents Non-Stop Intrigue

What I learned doing this assignment is: I can go deeper and deeper, mining my characters and discovering new character and plot points by using the patterns of intrigue exercise. It feels like my pitch bible is better after the exercise and I intend to repeat it again.

What I learned doing this assignment is that knowing what not to reveal is as important to know and also when to reveal it – OR do I mislead the audience in another direction.

I loved this assignment and applied it for a complete rewrite of my pitch bible. It is greatly improved and I can see how this is really elevating the show to be bingeworthy.

What I learned doing this assignment is that I can cut more and more. In general, there are a couple of areas that are challenging, and I wish Hal or Cheryl were monitoring these forums to answer some questions. If I used most of the first episode to do my show summary at the beginning, how do I change the the description of the first episode under the episode sections so it’s not just a rehash of what’s already written? In general, I’m finding editing the episodes is the most challenging to NOT be a book report, but I’ll keep working on it…

Subject line: Ben’s Presents Non-Stop Intrigue

What I learned doing this assignment is

I have done most of this while doing previous assignment, but I also realized not every line will have intriguing patterns. Maybe it is because I can’t come up with any at the moment. So I will leave them for future improvement.

Answer the question, “What I learned doing this assignment is…?” and put it at the top of your work.

I probably don’t use anywhere near all the tools for assignments 8/9, but some of them come naturally. I was able to make most paragraphs better, although it’s a balancing act. Much of my plot naturally is filled with setups and payoffs. So that was not to heard to integrate. I don’t even know if I’m really doing it correctly, but I’m happy with the new results.

Tell us what this has done for your TV Pitch Bible.

I thought my bible was already solid, but it definitely got better as I went through the process. Adding more guided questions can make readers think about many things. I ended up doing the process more than once. It can open up more improvements.
