Developing Your TV/Web Series from Scratch

Are you interested in creating content for broadcast on cable television or the internet? MCM manages cable channels 19 and 21 in Montgomery County, and we want to help you create content for those channels. This class is a great start. In this course, learn what are some things you will need to develop your idea from page to screen. Students will be assigned readings and assignments that may require filming or recording on a smartphone, via Zoom, or with a DSLR for this class. The class will work on a common project to learn skills they will be able to apply to their own series idea. The class curriculum will focus on idea development, understanding the elements of a web series, and analyzing different popular web shows to identify the aspects that attract and keep an audience. By the end of the class, participants will have developed a web series episode, creating the storyboard for their first episode. Participants must have reliable internet access and a computer to participate actively in this virtual class. This class utilizes a flipped classroom model. This means that participants will be expected to do assignments outside of the class time to apply the knowledge learned. Course time will be spent sharing completed assignments, discussing material, and Q & A time.
