SIT-COM
GENRE
Sit-coms
are the most popular form on television and provide more work
than any other kind of writing. The best comedy writing in
the entertainment industry is done on sit-coms.
But sit-coms
are NOT jokes. They are comic short stories, and they have
unique, highly-structured forms. The trick is knowing the
sit-com story structures that actually produce the laughs,
writing comedy from character, and playing with the ongoing
web of comic oppositions.
The Sit-com
1-on-1 Class shows you all the elements of character, structure,
scene and dialogue of this popular form. No other book or
course has the depth or breadth of this class. Students range
from those trying to break in with a spec script to those
established pros who want to learn how to create their own
sit-com.
