scripts for a series -Help

I don't know how to write a script for a series.

I was looking for examples, to get an idea and notion of how it is done, as well as how the bible is developed.

You know the application www.hollywoodcamerawork.com/causality.html

What do you think of it?

Looks great.

Then read a bunch of TV pilots, grab a book on tv pilot structure. The software isnt going to help you write a good script.

Alejandro Marello

Thank you!

the truth is that diversity of opinions is always good to have a wide variety of answers. the truth is that I didn't know the software and I said that it helped the scriptwriters a lot. but your opinion is very useful.

Thank you

If you're looking for guidance, two things come to mind. 1) Trust your outline and prewrite work. Don't rely on software. That can help you with formatting; it will not help you with story, tone or character. 2) A pilot is the template for the rest of your series. How you structure the script is going to influence how your other episodes turn out. Take your time. Make sure it falls in line with where you want your story to go.

Hey Alejandro Marello - great question! Have you looked into the Stage 32 Education for series writing? Reach out to the Education team at edu@stage32.com and they can give you a slew of webinars, classes, and labs on writing. I would personally recommend anything from Anna Henry - who has developed for HBO, ABC, and more. Start browsing here: https://www.stage32.com/webinars

Alejandro: look in the Next Level Education here on Stage 32. I recently got Netflix + Stage 32 Present: Television Pilot Story Structure and it is one of the most comprehensive and detailed webinars I have used. It's over 3 hours of the blow-by-blow of how to write a TV Pilot, each step, etc. It will provide you exactly what you are looking for as it did for me!
