Download or read book ScripTipps Arrested Development written by Angela Jorgensen and published by elfpublished books. This book was released on 2014-08-13 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Created by Mitchell Hurwitz for executive producer Ron Howard, the metatextual single-camera Fox sitcom ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT won five Emmys in its first season, including one for its 2003 pilot script. If you're trying your hand at a smart, half-hour original sitcom pilot, this is the perfect show to study first. While introducing the mockumentary style sitcom to American audiences that would later become popular with "The Office," "Modern Family," and "Parks and Recreation," "Arrested Development" followed a traditional sitcom structure of a cold open, two acts, and a tag. Analyzing the debut episode, ScripTipps examines how the series deftly ties together multiple subplots and season-long arcs amidst conflict in perpetually varying but ultimately cyclical permutations that had fans successfully demand the show’s return eight years after it was canceled.

Download or read book ScripTipps Sleepy Hollow written by Angela Jorgensen and published by elfpublished books. This book was released on 2014-06-29 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There's never been a more exciting time to write for television. With the feature spec market a thing of the past, more new screenwriters are aiming for the small screen. If you're trying to break into TV writing, you'll need two types of writing samples: A spec episode of an existing series and an original pilot. Whether you're looking for a recent smash hit to spec or trying your hand at an original one-hour, SLEEPY HOLLOW is the perfect show to study. Conceived by Phillip Iscove, a writer with no prior produced credits, the series is a mash-up of two Washington Irving stories: "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" and "Rip Van Winkle." What if Ichabod Crane slept for two centuries and woke up in 2013? Further developed by STAR TREK scribes Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman, the show is a genre hybrid: a heavily serialized fantasy/horror mythology grafted onto a dual-protagonist, case-of-the-week police procedural. ScripTipps deconstructs the pilot episode of this smash hit series, analyzing its structural irregularities, how it introduces its important characters and themes, how it establishes a unique tone for the entire series, and more.

Commentary (works not included). Pages: 25. Chapters: Superman, Superman II: The Richard Donner Cut. Excerpt: Superman (also known as Superman: The Movie) is a 1978 superhero film based on the DC Comics character of the same name. Richard Donner directed the film, which stars Christopher Reeve as Superman, as well as Gene Hackman, Margot Kidder, Marlon Brando, Glenn Ford, Phyllis Thaxter, Jackie Cooper, Marc McClure, Valerie Perrine and Ned Beatty. The film depicts the origin of Superman, from infancy as Kal-El of Krypton and growing up in Smallville. Disguised as reporter Clark Kent, he adopts a mild-mannered attitude in Metropolis and develops a romance with Lois Lane, while battling the villainous Lex Luthor. The film was conceived in 1973 by Ilya Salkind. Several directors, most notably Guy Hamilton, and screenwriters (Mario Puzo, David and Leslie Newman and Robert Benton) were associated with the project before Donner was hired to direct. Donner brought Tom Mankiewicz to rewrite the script, feeling it was too campy. Mankiewicz was credited as creative consultant. It was decided to film both Superman and Superman II simultaneously. Principal photography started in March 1977 and ended in October 1978. Tensions rose between Donner and the producers, and a decision was made to stop filming Superman II and finish the first film. Donner had already shot 75% of the planned sequel, eventually giving birth to Superman II: The Richard Donner Cut. Superman was released with critical acclaim and financial success. Reviewers noted parallels between the film's depiction of Superman and Jesus. The film's legacy helped to foster the establishment of the superhero film genre. On the planet Krypton, using evidence provided by scientist Jor-El, the Ruling Council sentences three attempted insurrectionists, General Zod, Ursa and Non, to "eternal...
