06/02/2012 - First Lecture - STORY-TELLING

Today was the first lecture of our course and we were briefed on the basic procedures of producing a show/film/programme beginning from the initial idea generation to scripting right through to the post-production phase. However, today's focus was on the first and most important step of production which is the idea development.
We looked at two episodes of the critically acclaimed  Sit-Com "SPACED" by Writer/Actor 'Simon Pegg' and Director 'Edgar Wright'. Then we reviewed it as a whole and attempted creating a 'Pitch' for it, which would have been Simon's first actions in order to get the programme produced.
We were also shown the basic components of writing a 'Synopsis' which include a "Set-up, Development and Conclusion".
