In todays lesson we first looked at two different pilot episodes. One from the series of friends and one from the series of family guy. In the friends pilot we saw the setting of the scene and it described to us all of the characters and their personalities. It also showed two characters who are friends Ross and Rachel who are currently going through problems in their lives. Ross just had a recent break up wit his girlfriend and Rachel who ditched her wedding. This is effective because it makes the audience want to know what happens during the rest of the series.
The next pilot that we watched was family guy. This pilot we thought dragged a bit and made it seem more of an actual episode. Although it did show us the main characters and the main settings there was no pilot feeling to it.
We also pitched our pilots and gave a brief summary to the class about what happens in our pilots and also our movies and how we are going to go about doing so.
We then went to go and watched a different pitch online which was then made into a movie and it showed us how a simple short pitch could be made into something really effective.
We also watched a brief documentary about a writer who tells us about his ideas on writing and what he believes would make a great script
