BWTV Module 2 Lesson 10: Riveting Episode Titles

Working hard every day to become the best writer I can be and as a result I do become the best writer in Hollywood.

What I learned from this assignment is another way to hook a producers interest.

These are the current titles I have and the episode description have been purposely removed as this is about the titles not the episode descriptions.

CJ’s Episode titles

What I learned from this assignment was the importance of titles–which I had never considered from a marketing aspect. And it was great fun coming up with them! Maybe too much fun–I’ll definitely be open to revising them and will take another look (or two or three) before I’m done.

PATIENT X, Season One:

Episode 1: DEAD NUN TALKING

Episode 2: THE LIVING BEFORE THE DEAD

Episode 3: TOWER OF THE DEAD

Episode 4: NOT DEAD YET

Episode 5: BETTER OFF DEAD

Episode 6: DEJA DEAD

Episode 7: DYING TO BE DEAD

Episode 8: DEAD MOTHER WALKING

BRIAN BULL – Episode Titles

“What I learned from doing this assignment is…
I may have cheated on this assignment by choosing to use the Tarot Cards as Episode titles but I think it is cleaver and if you know anything about Tarot Cards and the Psychic Realm you will understand the reference.

ASSIGNMENT

1. Do a quick brainstorm session for each of your episodes and seasons. Use the Title
Formats to do it.

Conflict:
Journey:
Dilemma:
Issue faced:
Irony:
Hero’s challenging situation:
Threat to hero:
Discovery:
Metaphor:

2. Select the titles that stand out, but be open to even better ideas in the future.

3. Sequence the titles so you can see what story they tell. Replace any titles that create genre confusion.

I’m thinking of using the Tarot Cards for my Episode titles. I am still working on my episode descriptions as I haven’t fully figured out my season arc. I am still in the discovery process – I am doing a LOT of READING on Crystal Balls and Tarot Cards and trying to know the Psychic Realm as best I can because it is new to me. In some ways I am much like my protagonist Dr. Jim Brown who went from the ordinary world to the Extraordinary World and that world is the Psychic Realm.
