NEW THREAD : LESSON 4

[Bob Creager]

Bob’s Episode List Rough Draft

What I learned: Step at a time. That’s all it takes.

1. The Cheat Sheet.

1. Beginning……………………………………………………………………….Season End/Cliffhanger

Question A: What is the Beginning of the season and the End of the season? The season begins with HM1 Leisa Hunter standing court martial. The inciting incident is where she learns that her brother has been captured by terrorists. The season ends with her and a team she created rescues her brother.

Question B: What possible cliffhanger could be in that last scene of the season, thus demanding that we watch the next season? The cliffhangers are learning her brother was not captured by terrorists but abducted by aliens. The other cliffhanger is she is now standing before the opening court martial, charged with desertion.

2. Season 1 Mystery Set up…………………………………..………………Season 1 Mystery Solved

Question A: What is the mystery? Why does the military refuse to rescue someone when it is a clear, doable mission? The Rogue Warriors each share a missing person in their lives. Who manipulated them to get together as a team?

Question B: How could the mystery be set up? What parts will be left out that must be solved? The Marine team gears up for action only to be ordered to stand down. The Rogue Warriors repeated find no missing person to rescue.

Question C: What is the ultimate solution that the characters must work to discover? They find that aliens are abducted people and creating teams that they use as proxies to prevent catastrophic events from occurring.

3. Journey begins……………………………………………………….Journey peaks, but continues.

Question A: Where does the Lead Character journey begin and end for this season? Leisa is unable to do anything to help rescue her brother. In the end, she leads a mission to rescue him only to find that he was not abducted but recruited by the aliens.

Question B: Think about where this character goes in future seasons. That might give you an idea also.

The Rogue Warriors affiliate with the aliens to prevent attacks on Americans.

4. ……Layer….…Layer………Layer………Layer………Layer………Layer………Layer……Layer

Question A: What layers have you already discovered in your BW Framework?

Aliens behind the abductions; not abductions, but recruitments; aliens prevent global destruction; aliens want to protect their vacation land; aliens want to “own” earth and prevent the “enemy” aliens from coming there.

Question B: Are there any other layers that you could think of?

A mission to disarm and capture an isolated site was actually initiated by the “enemy” aliens in order to prevent the “friendly” aliens from destructively mining earth for a rare mineral that they need for their weapons.

Dr. Diaz was ordered to reestablish contact with Leisa to serve as a spy for a senior government official.

Bird Dog traffics in stolen alien artifacts.

SkyQueen’s helicopter “accident” was being shot down by an alien craft. Her drug abuse was to cover up her altered behavior and perceptions from an alien contamination.

5. Make a list of the Major Story Lines.

Question A: What main characters have story lines that affect everyone else?

Leisa: Suggested the contractor job that led to her father being captured. Now she will do anything to rescue those relatives of friends and teammates.

Leisa/Sergio: She forfeits love to pursue her new enlisted life only to begin an illicit affair that is nearly destroyed when it is revealed that Sergio was doing so under orders. Sergio risks his own incarceration when he teams with Leisa and the Rogue Warriors.

Bird Dog, the team’s arms supplier, risks arrest for all of them, and unknown risks when he goes against the alien’s demands.

SkyQueen’s addiction rears itself at the most inopportune times.

Capt Carl recognizes the value in what the Rogue Warriors are doing but must choose supporting them or doing what is best for his career.

Question B: What are the most important story lines of this show?

Leisa’s arc from being an active opponent of the aliens to a supporter of them to opposing them again when she learns their true mission.

Jeffrey Alan Chase’s Episode List Rough Draft

What I learned doing this assignment is what a good exercise this is to organize my thoughts about multiple episodes for five seasons. Great way of organizing my thoughts. I was surprised by several ideas AI generated for episodes of the first season. It’s helping me develop more layers and conflicts.

SEASON 1 CHEAT SHEET

BEGINNING: On the run from false charges of war crimes, homeless Army veteran NOAH ADAMS discovers a battered backpack. Inside, are common items that will force him to look at his estranged relationship with God and will deeply affect people in crisis that he encounters.

ENDING/CLIFFHANGER: Kane, a rogue C.I.D agent who is hunting down Noah, forces his rich ex-wife to betray him and set a trap where Kane will arrest – or more likely kill Noah.

MYSTERY SETUP:

Who created the backpack and when?

Why was Noah somehow “chosen” to receive the backpack?

How do new things show up in the backpack that weren’t in it the day before?

What do James, Catherine, Gino, Mary, and Catherine know about the backpack?

Where will the backpack take Noah?

JOURNEY:

Beginning of season: Noah is on the street, homeless and has turned his back on God. Father Zeke gives him a job in the shelter where, much to his surprise, items he pulls from the backpack help several homeless people become born again Christians.

End of season: Noah rebels against what he feels is against his will being led back to God. He wants to destroy the backpack – but can’t. He doesn’t know why but feels he must protect it.

LAYERS:

A. Hidden Agendas: Noah secretly seeks redemption from false accusations in Afghanistan.

B. Competition: He must battle inner demons and doubts about his lost Christian faith.

   death of his twin brother and war crimes and but who unknowingly is
   possessed by a demon who has orders to kill Noah.

   transport Noah. James has seen the backpack before.

   saving his love and supports Noah with burner phones and secret intel to

   debate partner.

I am posting this way because the system won’t let me use the regular reply button for some reason. I even tried incognito and in Google Chrome, and it doesn’t work.

What I learned from doing this assignment is that AI is very helpful in putting together an organized re. It would have taken me weeks to come up with the things that AI does in minutes. It seems to be taking AI longer to come up with solutions, and I have to push “wait” several times, but I am not complaining as the solutions are better for the wait. It seems to be keeping track of everything, so that I no longer have to put genre or concept in. It already is trained. I wish there was some way that you could just download your whole thread in case it gets lost.

Sylvia’s Episode List Rough Draft (Charity Gala Mysteries)

What I learned doing this assignment is…the more I answer these questions, the more details are revealed within me. AI is fun in helping sus out various ideas.

1. Beginning……………………………………………………………………….Season End/Cliffhanger

<ul type=”disc”>

[Joan Macbeth]

I haven’t been able to post anything since I started on Module 2. I’ve just finished Lesson 3 and will post in here since it’s the only thread that I can open right now. Thanks!

Joan Macbeth’s Five Seasons (Lesson 3, Module 2)

What I learned doing this assignment is that I had a hard time distinguishing stair steps from building blocks, but I was still able to identify arcs and write season descriptions

1. Brainstorm to find the arc of the entire journey, from Season One to Five.

Beginning of Season One: Romeo meets Juliet on the borderlands of their two worlds – Romeo is destitute but free in the post-apocalyptic wilderness; Juliet is captive in a government-run human reproduction facility.

End of Season Five: Juliet frees her people from the fascist government – Romeo returns with their child, but dies in the effort.

2. Brainstorm the Stair Step version.

Simply list the main mystery, conflict, opponent, layer, etc., that each season is about.

• Season 1: (Bigger Opponent, Bigger Arena, New Layer)
• A. High Concept or major hook of the season. Romeo and Juliet are from different worlds – can their love survive? Can they?
• B. Big Picture Arc/Journey: Exploring the separate worlds of R&J – Juliet is about to become of age – 15 – when she will be clinically inseminated for the first time. Romeo is horrified by this – his tribe does things the old-fashioned way. He is betrothed to a woman of his tribe, but he falls in love with Juliet.
• C. Main Conflict: When Romeo and Juliet run away together, Romeo’s despised “Terrista” tribe – a group of undocumented nomadic families who have been on the run from Government forces for generations – faces retaliation.

• C. Main Conflict: Life & Death
• D. Mystery/Open Loops: Juliet discovers her origins, forbidden information about her parents. Flashback to Romeo’s past with the “Keepers” – he is delusional and unconscious in prison – but not dead.

• (Characters: R&J, Brother, guards, Abuela, tribe members including Romeo’s parents w/Young Romeo, Keepers, Grandfather; Ophelia, Nurse, The General, Kate, The Chief of Staff, Lady Macbeth, collective residents)

• Exploring the separate worlds of R&J – Juliet is about to become of age – 15 – when she will be clinically inseminated for the first time. Romeo is horrified by this – his tribe does things the old-fashioned way. He is betrothed to a woman of his tribe, but he falls in love with Juliet. When Romeo and Juliet run away together, Romeo’s despised “Terrista” tribe – a group of undocumented nomadic families who have been on the run from Government forces for generations – faces retaliation. The young couple is caught and are imprisoned separately, each believing the other is dead. (Brother & Fiancee, Abuela, tribe members; Ophelia, Nurse, The General, Kate, The Chief of Staff, Lady Macbeth, collective residents)

Joan Macbeth’s Episode List Rough Draft (Lesson 4, Module2)

What I learned doing this assignment is… I’m thinking more in terms of the bigger picture, and how to flesh out many episodes, which isn’t quite the objective here. A five-season series is a really big story – call it a 40-hour movie. That’s quite a lot compared to a 100-page feature script, which is what I’m used to writing. 2400 pages, I think, for only 8 episodes per season. So it’s a bit challenging for me to work out a viable structure. I think my episodes so far may be a bit skimpy, so I’m beginning to think more about the details of individual story threads and how those would be structured. This might all be beyond the scope of this class; however it’s certainly a good reason to become conversant with AI. I suppose the breakthrough I’m having is that a successful TV series is likely to need a complete story arc for each principal character, compared to a 2-hour movie that has fewer main characters and the others are there to support the main character’s story, rather than everyone having an arc. However, not always in TV, as I noticed in my example TV show, “The Handmaid’s Tale,” which is more conducive to using supporting characters, at least in the early part of Season 1. On the other hand, “West World” has story arcs up the ying-yang. So, thanks for the opportunity to expand my thinking, and now I will try to contract it back to thinking about a pilot episode and one season.

1. Use the Cheat Sheet above to do Step 1 – 5, answering the questions.

CHEAT SHEET:

1. Beginning……………………………………………………………………….Season End/Cliffhanger

• Question A: What is the Beginning of the season and the End of the season? ROMEO MEETS JULIET – THEY WANT TO BE TOGETHER AND FREE, BUT THEY ARE CAPTURED
• Question B: What possible cliffhanger could be in that last scene of the season, thus demanding that we watch the next season? ROMEO AND JULIET ARE CAUGHT AND IMPRISONED SEPARATELY, EACH BELIEVING THE OTHER IS DEAD.

2. Season 1 Mystery Set up…………………………………..………………Season 1 Mystery Solved

• Question A: What is the mystery? WHY ARE THEY ENEMIES?
• Question B: How could the mystery be set up? What parts will be left out that must be solved? WHY ARE ROMEO’S PEOPLE FREE, BUT DESTITUTE, AND JULIET’S PEOPLE ARE IMPRISONED BUT HAVE EVERYTHING THEY NEED? WHAT’S LEFT OUT – JULIET’S INSTITUTIONAL SOCIETY IS RUN BY A CRUEL & HYPOCRITICAL DICTATORSHIP.
• Question C: What it the ultimate solution that the characters must work to discover? JULIET CHANGES HER CONCEPT OF FREEDOM.

3. Journey begins……………………………………………………….Journey peaks, but continues.

• Question A: Where does the Lead Character journey begin and end for this season? BOTH LOSE THEIR FREEDOM AND BECOME PRISONERS.
• Question B: Think about where this character goes in future seasons. That might give you an idea also. ROMEO HAS A CONCEPT OF FREEDOM THAT IS MORE TRADITIONAL IN AMERICAN SOCIETY – THAT YOU HAVE A RIGHT TO FREEDOM, BUT SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO WORK OR SACRIFICE TO MAINTAIN IT. (LIFE, LIBERTY, PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS). JULIET’S REALITY IS THAT SHE CAN TAKE IT FOR GRANTED THAT ALL HER WANTS AND NEEDS ARE PROVIDED FOR BY THE GOVERNMENT.

4. ……Layer….…Layer………Layer………Layer………Layer………Layer………Layer……Layer

• Question A: What layers have you already discovered in your BW Framework? PLOT LAYERS – Story beneath the story.
• Major scheme revealed – Juliet’s escape from the Reproduction Collective – leads to others plotting to do the same, or instigates a change to exercise more freedoms.
• Mystery revealed – Ophelia reveals she is Juliet’s mother, but who is the father? Because it wasn’t artificial insemination, which is the law.
• Thought the story was one thing, but it is another – Is it simply another Romeo & Juliet tragic love story, or can the last remaining free people of Cascadia reveal how the oppressed and imprisoned can be freed?
• Major shift in Meaning – What is Bard Worship and why do the Cascadia people follow it?
• Hidden history – How did the Plague change reproduction dynamics for the people of Cascadia?
• Hidden plan – Someone wants to threaten the leadership of the Chief of Staff.
• Major betrayal – A plot against the Chief of Staff is being run by his loyal General, who turns out to be Ophelia’s lover and Juliet’s father.
• Question B: Are there any other layers that you could think of? STILL DEVELOPING CHARACTER LAYERS, BUT YES.

5. Make a list of the Major Story Lines.

• Question A: What main characters have story lines that affect everyone else? ROMEO, JULIET, OPHELIA, THE GENERAL, THE CHIEF OF STAFF
• Question B: What are the most important story lines of this show? WILL ROMEO AND JULIET SURVIVE AND GET TOGETHER; WILL THE MILITIA RETALIATE AGAINST ROMEO’S TRIBE; WHAT WAS THE CAUSE BEHIND THE SOCIETY BECOMING WHAT IT IS; ROMEO AND HIS BROTHER ARE AT ODDS – WILL THEY RECONCILE?; WILL OPHELIA’S AND THE GENERAL’S SECRET BE DISCOVERED; WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO THE CRUEL CHIEF OF STAFF?

2. Turn those answers into a list of 8 to 13 Episodes with one sentence explanations.

1 Romeo meets Juliet – Set up their worlds (including Bard Worship) and their mutual attraction.

2 Juliet’s world – Juliet confides in BFF Kate, who fears the Outsiders and threatens to tell on Juliet, but Juliet knows how to manipulate Kate; Intro something mysterious about Ophelia.

3 Romeo’s world – intro fiancee & brother, matriarch Abuela, and tribal life as Romeo and his brother quarrel over their differences.

4 R&J return to trysting place and develop a relationship; Juliet is torn because she’s not supposed to be there.

6 Rape of Juliet by Chief of Staff.

7 R&J Decide to run away together, tribe is attacked by militia, fiancee killed, reveal Brother was in love with her; anger at Romeo for causing this tragedy, but he’s gone.

8 Cliffhanger: The young couple are caught and are imprisoned separately, each believing the other is dead.

3. With each episode, make a list of bullet points that describe the most important events of that episode. JUST GOING TO SKIP THIS PART FOR NOW, AS MY PREVIOUS ANSWERS WERE FAIRLY DETAILED RUN-ON SENTENCES. I RECOGNIZE THE NEED TO FLESH OUT THE EPISODES, IN SOME CASES, THOUGH. THANK YOU.
