Editor's Notes
- Another way of letting people see your script is entering a competition. A script that wins a competition will be highly praised in the industry and your skills as a writer will be recognised, this will help you start your career.
- If a script is off a high quality it may be worth sending it to a independent director or producer because they may see potential in your script and may help you create a vision for your script. A producer may help by sending your work to potential investors and directors.
- The writer is responsible for writing the script. Works closely with the Literary Agent, Script Editor and Researcher. The producer is the person who manages the production and makes sure that every part of the production team has an involvement in the script. The researcher makes sure that the script follows all historical information or specialist information including certain jobs, locations and settings. The commissioning editor has the final say in whether the finished script goes into production. He/she works very closely with Editorial Assistant, The Editorial Administrator and The Director.
- After this has happened, it is the writers role to work alongside the other people in the process. This also includes doing independent research into the topic and the legal and ethical issues that the topic may touch upon.
- If they approve of it then they contact the writer and ask whether or not they can carry on the script and will be offered a contract for a set date so for example if they needed a script for 2 months after they accepted the script, then the writer would need to have finished it by then. otherwise they would hire someone else who can finish a script in the set time. because they have a schedule to keep to and if you mess that up then you will lose your job.
- The main feature of working as a writer is passion because you need it to be able to carry on a idea without getting bored of it, thus being able to write a large amount of writing. And lastly you need patience in both writing the script and getting it commissioned. When writing a script it can be very time consuming depending on how big the story is. Then when the script is finished you can send it off to a organisation who commissions scripts, you could be waiting for a long time on whether or not they like it. So patience is key.
- Copy right- if you were to use information or an idea created by someone else this would be in violation of the copyright law. If anyone were to copy your work this would be a breach of the law and you would be able to take legal action. Bias- in factual works you have to tell in a balance manor otherwise it is seen as a prejudice. Censorship- when certain things such as sex, swearing and violence are removed so that it is suitable for younger audiences.
- Watersheds- watershed is when unsuitable content (such as sex/violence) cannot be shown before a certain time. Libel- If a programme was to insult another person, group or ethnic minority they are in their right to take legal action if they believe the content is too offensive. Plagiarism-this is where you take credit for someone else’s work and don’t cite them, legal action can be taken against you.
