==========================================
by Scott
Manville
There is no greater reason for professional
Writers to strike than the current issues at
hand, but it's a tedious time to go up against
the Networks whose thirst for reality
programming will never be quenched.
After conversations with a
handful of Production Executives, and a few
Literary Agents, here's what I see on the
horizon; Networks will up the order for
unscripted content to satisfy advertiser demand
for fresh programming, and production companies
will shift their development focus to
reality-based projects to make their much needed
sales. Regardless, the Writers will win in the
end, but the Companies have enough alternative
to draw it out long enough for it to hurt.
Reality being the
mandate, it's important to remember that many
reality-based projects produced are in fact
"scripted", and if you want to make a sale you
need to concentrate on concepts and formats
that are documentary style, or coverage of
content that is orchestrated by producers.
Host dialogue, gameshow Q&A's and panel
discussions are typically written or formatted
by pro scribes. Right now is a time of
producer-driven concepts that can be developed
and produced with real, unscripted content.
Many Writers who walk the fence on pitching
scripted and unscripted projects will no doubt
switch to marketing the reality-based projects
because that's what's being bought. They'll
walk the picket line as a Writer in the
morning, and then take a deal for a producer
credit in the afternoon.
This will be the busiest
Holiday season in entertainment yet, and we're
already seeing an increase in executive
activity sourcing new material from the
TV Writers Vault.
So buckle down and get that format ironed out
for the new reality show you've been
developing. The right company won't find it
unless you put it out there.
If you have any
questions concerning the development or
marketing of your new projects, feel free to
contact me direct at
Scott@tvwritersvault.com
. I'm happy to assist.
Have a great week, and
write inspired!
