Abstract
I examined the conventions of script and teleplay writing to create the pilot and second episode of a television series intended for a streaming platform. I consulted style books, script analysis, and many television and movie scripts during the construction of this project to differentiate between a television show intended for a streaming platform and a television show created and aired on a network.
This project also includes the completed pilot episode and second episode of a ten episode script made for a television streaming platform. It also includes the storybook and outlines for crafting the proposed arc of the remaining episodes in the season.
