I have chosen to write a TV series pilot on an idea that I had a while ago and that have re-submerged the other day.
The LOGLINE
Possible PLOTLINES
Structure:
I've divided my pilot into three parts, so about twenty pages for each.
1) The first part of the episode establishes the characters and their main motivations -
2)
3)
ROUGH BEAT SHEET:
ACT I
Establish the main character and friend > Three main friends see rich kid and feel sorry for him > The protagonists' home life and failing writer of a dad > The two besties hanging out, saying what they are going to do with their lives > Protagonist approaching rich kid and starting to hang out with him > Meeting the rich kid's parents and inviting him to hang out with them > Group hanging out / tension between rich kid and best friend > Rich kid tells them about Cabin job
ACT II
Group goes to cabin and shown what they must do > Them working / taking a break > finding the stuff in the basement > deciding to sell it all > Sneaking stuff home > supernatural awakenings > selling stuff @ school > supernatural happenings
ACT III
PITCH PLANNING
Format : TV Series
Genre : Children's Horror
Target Audience : 12 - 30?
Logline : A group of kids are hired to clean out an old cabin that the landlord wants to sell since the current tenant have been absent for months, it just so happens that said tenant was an avid collector of the supernatural, seeing this opportunity the kids decide to make an extra buck by selling these items.
Plot : The series will be episodic in nature, almost a monster of the week formula, but the different supernatural entities will have to be juggled by the characters and it will have a sense of too much on one platter.
