Crucial Tips With Regards To Protecting TV Script Clearance

By William Roberts


In this modern age, talented artists and individuals are constantly coming up with new and fresh ideas that would make a great backbone for a new project. This includes the creation of films, movie adaptations, television shows, and even animated projects. However, the problem lies in how to get sufficient funding to help in integrating these ideas into the proper formatting.

As a result, most independent artists and writers need to seek different resources to get the funding that they require. This comes in the form of submitting their work to large corporations and television channels that have the money to back up these projects and to help adapt them to the small screen. However, with so many people attempting to do the same, it can be difficult to have a moment of their time for consideration. To help with this feat, the following paragraphs will emphasize on some essential pro tips towards securing TV script clearance.

The first thing that must be done is to create an original and interesting plot line for a script. Since you already have a basic idea of what it entails, the problem lies in how to put this concept into a sound script that encompasses everything. Originality is key here, since there are so many shows that rehash the same concepts over and over again, leading to poor ratings and reviews. While it is ok to utilize elements from an already established genre, what is important is adding something new and fresh that will captivate the attention of audiences.

A vital aspect of creating a good script is coming up with interesting characters that actresses and actors will play on screen. The first thing to think of is the cast size, which entails how many characters you intend to have. This also means determining what is the major conflict within the series that they tend to have, which creates diversity and a sense of relevance to create interest among viewers. Furthermore, what is important is creating a sense of character growth, which the viewers will enjoy seeing, especially when they have become attached to a particular character or pairing within the series.

Nowadays, there are numerous competitions being held that primarily focuses on screenplays. One way of gaining more exposure and attention for your work is submitting them in these competitions and striving to win. While you may not necessarily be the winner, gaining recognition for at least being a finalist is enough to turn heads and will add credibility to your work and level of expertise.

Furthermore, screen test your work by posting it online and assessing the reaction by audiences and gaining important feedback to determine what is wrong and finding ways to improve upon these weak points. A popular trend among aspiring screenwriters is creating a mini web series and posting them on various online platforms, such as YouTube, Daily Motion, Vimeo, Metacafe, The Open Video Project and the like. Publishing short web series will help not just in gaining feedback, but can be used when submitting your output and in gaining more credibility too.

Furthermore, the showbiz industry is full of talented individuals who are working just as hard. Following this logic, make sure you allocate a percentage of your time doing networking in various platforms and venues. This is great not just for developing a list of references or contacts, these persons can help with your project and in collaborating on new ones too.

Furthermore, consider hiring a professional agent or manager to help in pacing the entire process. Agents have the goal of helping their clients gain more work and opportunities to get their output out there in the world. Furthermore, they can devise a plan to help organize events and in setting up meetings with relevant individuals within the same industry. Besides, having a well established agent will aid in adding credibility too.

This further ties in with setting up a contract with an already well established production company. While you may have your own goals of opening up your own, one must start small before they can build up reputation and credibility as a screenwriter. By gaining more experience on what really goes on behind the scenes, it helps develop your skills and in having a more realistic expectation of how the industry really works.
