    TV drama is becoming high-concept & sophisticated, the commissioning channel wants to compete in
    this market. A respectable TV channel has commissioned your production company to produce a pilot for
    a drama.
    The channel wants to see how you get your audience hooked in the first 5 - 10 minutes of your TV
    Drama. The drama must be a 'realist 21 century modern twist on an old fable'. A single camera should
    be used to express your ideas, themes and, most importantly, characters. The channel believes that
    strong characters are key to competing with other channels; and so, characters need to be expressed
    through your chosen visual motif.
    As well as creative use of camera the channel expects high production values in your creative use of
    sound and editing. Through use of wild tracks and folly sound should be clear and fit for purpose. Editing
    should have good pacing and rhythm with the aim of expressing your idea complementing your shot
    design.
    By the end of the pilot you want to leave your target audience wanting more!
    The channel recommends that you research rivals dramas to see what methods have been used. Other
    recommendations, which you should consider, keeping your locations to a minimum and that they
    complement your idea.
    Characters should be kept to a minimum and you should source performers who have a sense of
    professionalism, suit the role and want to perform.
    Consider design, such as set dressing, costumes and props and how that may help in expressing your
    themes and ideas.
    Ultimately, think about how to use shots & arrangements of sequences to represent characters and
    theme.
    Keep expositional dialog to a minimal, remember - 'show, don't tell'!
