A Simple Guide to Formatting Television Scripts. What’s the difference between a feature film script and a television script?
Television is in a new golden era, and the formats of television are evolving. Film vs. Television With film, you’re generally telling a story that is contained within the time frame of ninety minutes to two hours plus. Such a story usually follows a basic three-act structure — or a variation of it (i.e. With television, you’re creating a world with a cast of characters that will hopefully continue on for upwards of 10-24 episodes (give or take) for multiple seasons, thus the main story will not be resolved by the end of each teleplay or television script.
In short, a television series is an ever-evolving medium for the story and characters while a film stands alone on its own with complete closure by the end. Do you have a pilot that needs to be read? Format There’s little difference between the format of writing a feature screenplay and writing a teleplay. Software. ‘That’s why we did it’: Lincoln Project takes victory lap after Pence video rattles Trump.
The Lincoln Project appears to be enjoying the apparent reaction its video provoked in President Donald Trump – after reports emerged that the president had turned on Mike Pence following the video’s release.
Lincoln Project co-founder Reed Galen told The Independent that the president's response reported in Axios this week was the response they were expecting, and indeed hoping for. "Given that we dropped it a couple of weeks ago, it had kind of been off traffic, usually if you're going to get a reaction like that from him it will be more immediate because he's such an impulsive guy – but that's the reason we did it," Mr Galen said.
"Trump is the most transparent president to maybe ever occupy the White House. Truly, madly, deeply: meet the people turning their basements into secret fantasy worlds. When Jason Shron and his wife, Sidura, were house hunting in 2007, the Canadian model-train-seller would always head to the basement before viewing any other room.
In fact, Shron had only viewed the basement of his current family home when he told his estate agent he’d purchase the property: provided Sidura liked the upstairs, he was ready to go. Shron needed the perfect basement because, for nearly 30 years, he had dreamed of building a life-size replica of a 1970s Canadian VIA Rail railway carriage inside his house, the exact train that took him from Toronto to Montreal to visit his grandmother when he was a little boy.
Step inside Shron’s basement today and you will be greeted by a 200lb blue-and-yellow train door. Why stories are more powerful than you think - BBC Ideas. Could language be the key to detecting fake news? The internet represents the biggest explosion of data in human history.

As such, it contains its fair share of predators and poisonous plants. Deliberately misleading articles, websites and social media posts can come about for lots of different reasons: they might be trying to influence elections or policies; they might represent a form of cyberwarfare between states; they might be aimed at raising someone’s profile and influence, or discrediting their opponents.
Ken Burns on America: 'We're a strange and complicated people' Many birthday presents are rapidly discarded or forgotten, but a gift given to a 17-year-old Michigan high-school student, on 29 July 1970, changed American television.
Ken Burns received an 8mm movie camera, the first step on a path that made him such a revered figure in documentary film-making that, five decades later, his birthday this year will be celebrated with a whole day of his work on the PBS network. If 66 seems an odd birthday to be so honoured, it is because, on the more conventional landmark last year, Burns was locked away editing his latest eight-part, 16-hour series, Country Music, which airs in September.
That work forms, with Baseball and Jazz, a loose trilogy about emblematically American sports and culture. Those series are a peacetime balance to another thematic trio: The Civil War, The War and The Vietnam War, grippingly authoritative revisitings of the conflicts in which America was engaged between 1861-65, 1941-45, and 1954-73. Nick Fraser: ‘Documentaries can change the world’ When 71-year-old Nick Fraser first encountered documentaries in the 1960s, he admits he found them “not very interesting”.
That changed, partly because of a cultural shift – Fraser cites DA Pennebaker in the US and Nick Broomfield here as pioneers – and Fraser played his own part as well. From the late 1990s, for 17 years, he was editor of the BBC strand Storyville and worked on films such as Man on Wire and One Day in September, which both won Oscars. Fraser’s new book, Say What Happened: A Story of Documentaries, traces the history of documentary film-making. How the Videogame Aesthetic Flows Into All of Culture. Stylisten fürs TV sz de. An image of hope: how a Christchurch photographer captured the famous Ardern picture.
In the wake of the Christchurch massacre, stunned residents were looking for images of hope.
They found it in a photograph of prime minister Jacinda Ardern, clad in a black headscarf and overlaid with flowers reflected on the glass outside. She is listening with clasped hands to the Muslim community in Christchurch, not 24 hours after 50 of their number had been gunned down by an alleged terrorist. Her face attentive, compassionate. On New Zealand’s “darkest day”, she was showing its best qualities. The photo was taken by Christchurch city council photographer Kirk Hargreaves at the Phillipstown community centre at about midday on Saturday.
Ardern had just flown into the city along with the leaders of other political parties and a contingent of Wellington media. Why tech didn‘t stop ... NZ shootings.
